Namami Gange: Industrial pollution flowing into Ganga down nearly 60 per cent since 2017

Industrial pollution in the Ganga has significantly decreased by almost 60 percent since 2017. This achievement is credited to the Namami Gange program's strict regulations. Key interventions in Kanpur's Jajmau tannery belt have been successful. While water quality has improved, some stretches still face challenges.
