A TRUE SACRIFICE
Swami Nigamananda Saraswati a saint of just 34 yrs., old who was fighting against illegal mining and purification of river ganges died on June 13, 2011 after 115 days of fast unto death. The Swami went into coma and had to be admitted in a very critical condition to the Jolly Grant Hospital in Dehradun on April 27, 2011. Swami Nigamanand Saraswati was a member of Matri Sadan.It is known that Matri Sadan has been struggling to save Ganga from illegal mining for the past 12 years. Swami Nigmanand Saraswati had earlier done fast from Jan 20, 2008 till April 1, 2008 which resulted in success and Stone mining was banned, but after some months it again started and then another activist Dayanand did 30 days fast in March 2009 to shun the illegal mining. It was closed for sometime and again restarted from Oct 2009. According to Matri Sadan blog, the Himalaya Stone Crusher is destroying the bed of Holy Ganga and Kumbh area of Haridwar continuously for the last 10 years by extensive rampant mining of stone and sand. Illegal mining is running in complete co-operation with the Government of Uttarakhand and its bureaucrats.
