New Delhi: Jharkhand, which has the shortest stretch of the Ganga main stem among the five basin states, has maintained a record of zero polluted river stretches (PRS) on the river for the last seven years, according to Namami Gange.
Highlighting the state's performance under the Centre's flagship river-conservation programme, Namami Gange said Jharkhand's model stands out because the focus is on preventing pollution rather than restoring a degraded river stretch.
