    Rajani good to of you to raise this critical issue!! Pollution is one of the most concerning problems all over the world!

    @Sajeetharan I too am surprised to see these big cities missingf rom the list!!!

    All of these cities in the list have industries of polluting nature like the superthermal power plant, vast coal reserves and GUjarat Ambuja cement factory in Chandrapur!! Such pollution factors far surpass the mere pollution due to vehicles in metros such as Mumbai, Hyderabad etc!!

    Hey! Hyderabad and Bangaluru are not present in the list. It is very nice to know that Hyderabad do not have much pollution compared to remaining places.
    ;)
    Thanks 'n' Regards,
    Deepti.

    I was just roaming around youtube and found this which certainly shocks me.
    (Link in the following post)

    It seems that the Ganges is the most polluted river in the world which becomes more dangerous because people drink its sacred waters. Some other related videos also show that in Varanasi, Industrial waste, human waste, human corpses are thrown into Ganges.

    I am perfectly aware of the staus of this great river as I live a few hundred metres away from it.We have been simply reckeless in using this river.The indistrial effulents discharge into it has rendered its water as the most contaminated one.

    To no offense, but some of these videos are quite shockers. Why people not protest and still drink polluted water? I dont want have any bad intentions in saying that; in Pakistan, this kind of thing would never be allowed. Mosques are the cleanest place in Pakistan and in Muslim world.

    It is a very chilling video, Sajeetharan!!
    There probably is no answer to your question, because we Indians are inscrutable!!! Ganges is extremely sacred to us and in the name of sanctity and to attain the ultimate freedom or moksha, we throw the dead into the waters!!

    I have never been to any of the pilgrim places on the banks of Ganges, but I have been told by many that the dead are simply thrown in the waters!! :( :(

    There should be some laws in place to avoid these practices!! :(

    @Kalyani,

    We have pollution control boards and other agencies and Ganga Action Plan in the name of which crores of money were looted by the vested interests but the condition of this great river has just gone from bad to worse.

    @Chinmoy, this is a matter of great shame for us!! In spite of existence of pollution control boards and Ganga Action Plan, if these things keep happening, we should not talk about spiritualism or purity or any such nonsense because we don't mean it!!

    I also see that the video posted by sajeetharan is filmed by a foreigner!! Time and again, we keep exposing ourselves to the world in such a manner!!! :angry: :( :angry:
