People in India and world at large, are very intelligent. They can suggest very easy cure for everything, what ever it may be. I wish to compare it with a ill health person. The doctor first ask for blood test reports and other reports and then suggests medicines. Why Ganga or Yamuna or any other river is polluted? what is the scale of pollution? Why it is polluted ? whether the causes can be removed ? Yamuna at Okhla barrage i highly polluted. One of the reasons of pollution of rivers in India is disposing the Pooja articles - idols in rivers - water bodies. The religious persons like Shankracharya should find a suitable solution of this problem. Other reasons are the greediness of rich and influential people of society, which are making the water bodies highly polluted. Other main reason is the continuous reduction of availability of water in water streams to take away the polluted articles. Our prime minister Mr Modi should come foirward and give a high priority for cleaning of rivers of India, otherwise I am sure the ministers and bureaucrats know how to pass on the bug without doing anything. Prevention is more effective than cure. In year 1965 , i went to Calcutta and then Hugli ( Ganga) to take a holy dip. But i could see human excreta flowing in river. I preferred to take bath from a water tape near the bank of river.
