New Delhi: The industrial pollution load entering the Ganga has declined by nearly 60 per cent since 2017, with the biological oxygen demand (BOD) load from grossly polluting industries falling from 26 tonnes per day to 10.75 tonnes per day in 2024, officials associated with the Namami Gange programme said.
They attributed the decline in industrial pollution to a slew of regulatory measures introduced under the Namami Gange, Centre's flagship river conservation programme.
