Govt fails cleaning Ganga,Yamuna

Ganga and Yamuna are as dirty as they were two decades back despite a government spending of र17,000 crores on cleaning it, admits Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh.

In its renewed efforts to cleanse the rivers, the ministry has referred the issue to the National Ganga River Basin Authority. The global tender for appointing project consultants to prepare a basin management plan has attracted 30 bids.
