First ‘scheduled service’ of vessels launched on Ganga, Brahmaputra, Barak rivers
Sunday, 15 December 2024 India's shipping ministry launched a 'scheduled service' for cargo vessels on the Ganga, Brahmaputra, and Barak rivers, alongside the 'Jalvahak' incentive scheme. This initiative aims to boost cargo transport via waterways, offering up to 35% cost reimbursement for long-haul shipments exceeding 300 km. The fixed schedule service connects Kolkata with Patna, Varanasi, and Pandu, promoting efficient and sustainable freight movement.
Shocking reports reveal that the sacred waters of the Ganga and Yamuna at Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj are severely contaminated with faecal bacteria, failing official bathing water standards. Devotees gathering for the holy dip are unknowingly exposing themselves to dangerous pathogens, raising serious health concerns. With millions expected to take part in the festival, experts warn of potential waterborne diseases. How did this happen, and what are the risks? Watch the full report.
