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!!

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.

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!! :(

@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:

It may have been filmed by a foreigner but whatever he filmed was there to be filmed.Even if one chooses to debunk the spirituality that is attributed to this great river we need to keep it as clean as possible for no other reason than our own survival.I can understand if a poor and illiterate person is involved in this but when I find it is a racket consisting of industrialists,government civil servants and contractors who are out to ruin it.What else one can say?
A newly created NGRBA will take up the task on mission mode,acc. To it by 2020 no municipal sewage or industrial effluent will flow into the Ganga w/o complete treatment. The exercise would cost the Govt. Rs.15,000 crore over the next 10 years of which Indian Govt. expects WB to lend $1 billion for the 1st phase. Though centre proposed the share of expenditure b/w centre and state in 70:30 ratio but CMs of Bihar and Uttarakhand refused it so PM said it will be decided by Planning Commossion later.
The new authority's precursor,Ganga Action Plan(GAP), which was started in 1985 has been a failure in cleaning the river. GAP took the work on town basis and NGRBA will be on Basin-wide basis. GAP worked on sewage treatment but this will take catchment area treatment also in account.
GOI are taking and had taken steps may b this will work out.

[quote]Hmm! Kolkata is out of the list! How's that?[/quote]
Chinmoy,
you are very lucky as kolkata is a wonderful place.I agree that it has huge slums but it is not at all in the list of polluted cities. It has different transport system including Metro line but still it is not.
I am also surprised that how come delhi city is not in the list?
But some suburbs are there like Noida...etc.
It think in most of the cities the pollution is generally caused due to traffic which is not much compared to industrial pollution. What is the ultimate reason i couldnt find...

In olden days this was quiet common and old people use to go to KASHI or Varanasi for getting moksha..but it is rediculous belief as the do know with human decay how much pollution they are creating.
I dont know the exact reason deepti why they follow this ...after dying may be other people throw the bodies like that as they may not be interested in baring the charges of cremation... :unsure:
