NAGPUR: The Ganga will be “100 per cent clean” by March 2020, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari Saturday said, and linked it to “good governance”.
He was addressing a gathering of the BJP’s SC Morcha here.
“In just 10 per cent work of the Rs 26,000 crore project currently underway, the Ganga has started getting cleaner. By March this year, 30-40 per cent of the work will be completed and by March next year, Ganga will be 100 per cent clean,” he said.
He said he could give a “districtwise, statewise and projectwise” record of the work he had done to clean Ganga.
“Not only the Ganga, but we have also been working on 40 of its tributaries,” he said, adding that projects worth Rs 800 crore were also underway to rejuvenate the Yamuna. (AGENCIES)
