I have seen one video on youtube where dead bodies have been found floating in mountainous areas also that come in Ganges route."
Well if u think that people just dip their glasses in flowing river and then drink it watever it contains...then you are terribly misinformed.....
The water is highly purified through plants before it is used for drinking....

I found this fact on a website which reports:
"India's fourteen major, 55 minor and several hundred small rivers receive millions of litres of sewage, industrial and agricultural wastes. Most of these rivers have been degraded to sewage flowing drains. There are serious water quality problems in the towns and villages using these rivers as a source of their water."
Especially in Pune, the Mutha river that flows throught the city has become no more than a gutter which is further aggravated by the presence of water hyacinth, which grows rapidly and completely covers the river which looks like a green grassy ground!!! This plant kills all the fish and other organisms in the waterfurther degrading the quality of water which isn't much to begin with!

Yes Chinmoy, it is sad but true and now with the onset of Shravan and Bhadrapad months ina few weeks will add more to it!!
In Maharashtra, we celebrate Ganeshotsav and Durgapuja in a big way!! I am sure you know what is involved in it, religious sentiments aside it pains me a lot to see huge idols and all the usual paraphernalia of flowers and other offerings with them go into the rivers and lakes!!
The plaster of Paris and the toxic colours used on these idols add to further degradation!

You have very rightly drawn our attention to this common problem.We face similar problems during immersion of very big Durga idols.Of late there is a welcome change as more and more activists of the environmental groups have become active.They try to persuade the idol makers not to go for these chemicals.

For that may be western system should be follwed in India such as fine for spliting on roads,throwing garbage on roads instead of garbage bins etc..This should be strictly followed to control the problem atleast to some exitent. however no rule is followed completely in india.. :) We are there to break rules.. :laugh:
