Goal: Clean up the highly polluted Ganges River to protect its health and the millions of people who rely on it.
The Ganges River is one of the most revered and sacred rivers in India, with a significant role in the country’s culture and spirituality. However, it is also one of the most polluted rivers in the world, with levels of contamination far exceeding safe limits. The pollution of the river is a result of industrial waste, agricultural runoff, and untreated sewage from millions of people living along its banks.
The pollution of the Ganges River poses a significant threat to the health of millions of people who rely on it for drinking, bathing, and irrigation. The contamination has led to the spread of waterborne diseases, which can be fatal if left untreated. Additionally, the pollution has caused significant harm to the river’s aquatic life, which is an integral part of the river’s ecosystem.
In order to tackle this pressing issue, it is crucial that we take prompt and resolute action to clean up the Ganges River. This Herculean task demands a collaborative and synergistic effort involving the government, industries, and the general public. Not only will the restoration of the Ganges River safeguard the health and well-being of millions of people, but it will also be instrumental in preserving the rich cultural and spiritual heritage of India.
Sign below and demand immediate action to protect this iconic river and the millions of people who rely on it.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prime Minister Modi,
I am writing to urge you to take immediate action to clean up the highly polluted Ganges River. As one of the most sacred and revered rivers in India, the Ganges River is an integral part of India’s cultural and spiritual identity. However, it is also one of the most polluted rivers in the world, with levels of contamination far exceeding safe limits.
The pollution of the Ganges River poses a significant threat to the health of millions of people who rely on it for drinking, bathing, and irrigation. The contamination has led to the spread of waterborne diseases, which can be fatal if left untreated. Additionally, the pollution has caused significant harm to the river’s aquatic life, which is an integral part of the river’s ecosystem.
In order to redress the state of the Ganges River, a comprehensive and concerted effort, involving the government, industry, and the public, must be implemented forthwith. The underlying causes of the pollution, emanating from industrial effluents, agricultural waste, and untreated sewage discharge from the millions residing along the river, must be meticulously addressed to achieve a substantive and enduring improvement.
We urge you to take immediate action to clean up the Ganges River to protect the health of millions of people who rely on it as well as the cultural and spiritual identity of India.
