New Delhi: The National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) has highlighted signs of ecological revival in the Ganga under the Namami Gange programme, citing large-scale afforestation and the return of key aquatic species, including the endangered Gangetic dolphin.
In a post shared on X earlier this week to mark 12 years of the Namami Gange programme, the NMCG said, "For decades, Ma Ganga's banks grew thinner, and her water grew quieter. Trees that held the soil disappeared. The dolphin our grandparents saw stopped appearing. The fish a fisherman could once count on became a memory."
