NGT says no effective steps taken to clean river Ganga

Why it is in news?
  • Expressing displeasure over the steps taken to clean the river Ganga, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) has asked the Uttarakhand government to take effective measures and take into account the views of the general public.
  • A Bench headed by NGT chairperson Adarsh Kumar Goel said that the information provided on paper was different from the ground reality.
  • Noting that rigorous monitoring is required, the NGT further directed district Ganga committees to furnish reports every fortnight.
