The Allahabad High Court has expressed displeasure over the apathy of the government departments in making the river Ganga pollution free in Uttar Pradesh and said that the ambitious National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) was throwing dust in the eyes and little work to clean the river was visible on ground.
A three-judge Bench of Chief Justice Rajesh Bindal, Justice Ajit Kumar and Justice Manoj Kumar Gupta made the observations while hearing a batch of Public Interest Litigations (PIL) pertaining to river pollution in U.P.
The court also added that the NMCG had become a machine to disperse money and no one was serious about cleaning the river Ganga.
