| Mr.
Babu on why Ganga Action Plan (1985)
was initiated.
Ganga has religious values and lots
of sentiments are attached to it.
During that time (1985) the Central
Pollution Control Board had completed
a survey on state of river pollution,
at least on Ganga. Their survey
stated that pollution level (at
that time) was very high and sewage
was the major culprit.
The infrastructure during that time
was very less (as compared to today).
It didn’t treat sewage properly.
Because of which Rajeev Gandhi wanted
to initiate the work from Ganga
and upscale it to other rivers.
