What step should be taken by govt. for cleaning Ganga river ? Give your idea.. !!!!

The above two ideas are really fruitful but sorry to say, they won't be working properly till the basic cause cause of Ganga's pollution is resolved.i.e, industrial wastes those are situated in the banks of the river. The amount is so high that even bacterias, filtering etc won't be able to stop the poisonous chemicals which cannot be cleaned by filtering and bacterias. So those industries on the bank of the Ganges responsible for its pollution should be immediately stopped or else at least made some minimum rules above which generation of wastes in the riven will face them fine. They will get closed automatically. The main reason government is not doing that is GREED!!! They are afraid of the loss of income they'll face if they don't do it thus are not controlling them. Our country has lot of companies enough for our development and many more as Green. We are not "Only dependent" on those factories for our sole development.

I agree with Ms.Anjali that factories should be banned because 70% of ganga water is polluted by waste dischared from all industries and factories. But this action should be taken strictly so that pollution of ganga river will be stopped. also people should be aware of the effects when they are throwing waste materials in river on the name of rituals...............

polluted water that contiminates river water should be treated at source only and factories responsible for same should be fined heavily for not obeying laws and polution authority should be held  responsible for not implementing the laws criminal cases should be filed by ngos against pollution board

The purification of Ganga can be done with bacterias destroy  the dirt. This is the organic way of cleaning. If my information is correct all the hotels and resorts at Ootacamund (Ooty) have to use similar bacteria in drainage system. If the government take initiative all the revers in India can be properly maintained.
