UP govt merges 3 streams of Ganga into 1 at Sangam ahead of Mahakumbh
Wednesday, 18 December 2024 Uttar Pradesh's Irrigation Department reunited three Ganga river streams at the Sangam, creating 22 hectares of bathing space for the 2025 Mahakumbh. This reverses the river's natural course alteration, simplifying pilgrim access and improving water purity. Dredging, despite initial challenges with strong currents, enabled the merging, centralizing bathing for the expected 40 crore devotees.
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.
