Ganga is no more holy in Varanasi
 |
Varanasi: In spite of the Action
Plan to clean the river, the Ganga at this
religious place in
Varanasi is
full of sewage. Confluence of rivers is sacred in Hinduism but not in
Varanasi where the Asi river now known as Nagwa Nala meets the Ganga.
Today, the Ganga is a living hell because there are 30 sewers that dump
sewage into the river just half a kilometre upstream of Varanasi.
