INDIA-ENVIRONMENT-GANGES-POLLUTION
To go with India-environment-Ganges-pollution by Bhuvan BAGGA
Hindu devotees and youths take a dip and swim in the polluted waters of the river Ganges at Sarsaiya Ghat in Kanpur on June 26, 2014. Standing on the banks of the river Ganges a day after his election triumph, Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed to succeed where numerous governments have failed: by cleaning up the filthy waterway beloved of India's Hindus. Success would pay huge dividends in endearing him further to his core Hindu supporters -- and correcting the long-standing neglect of the river would perfectly demonstrate his fabled administrative skills. But nowhere is the scale of the challenge more evident than in the northern town of Kanpur, around 500 kilometres (300 miles) from the capital, which is known for its large leather-treatment industry.
