| Don't politicize Ganga clean plan: Prof Soz | | | Jammu, July 18: Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) president and Member Parliament to Rajya Sabha Prof Saif ud-Din Soz said that the plan to clean river Ganga was possible and doable proposition but there was no need to politicize it. "We must go into the question of failure of our river cleaning initiatives.
Indian rivers are today dying. Some are already dead. We take water for multiple use and we return only sewage and waste. Some rivers are now called drains", Soz said. He further maintained that some cities, especially the ones close to Ganga didn't have sewage networks. "The methods of pollution management shall have to be reinvented for our cities. There is no doubt that Ganga could carry the priority. But, the plan has to be a comprehensive situation for the entire country", Soz said. "It will require a tough and serious effort. A redirection of the programme should be devised to make the effort effective. It is that way that our rivers particularly Ganga will be rejuvenated and cleaned. I believe that can be done. Many good steps were taken during the recent Kumbh. That effort must continue. It would be interesting to know why Ganga action plan undertaken by the Ministry of Environment and Forests did not meet the desired success. The Centre for Science and Environment could be of great help to the system to clean Ganga and other rivers", he said. |
