Ganga river water becomes fit for drinking in Haridwar, Rishikesh during India’s lockdown.
When the ancient Yamuna River in Delhi has reached a remarkable level of purity due to the absence of industrial pollutants in the last many days of India-wide lockdown, how can River Ganga show its sparkling clear waters to the nation?
Well, news has it that Ganga waters at Rishikesh and Haridwar have become very clean according to the observation made by BD Joshi, Environmental Scientist and Ex-professor at the Gurukul Kangri University. According to Joshi, it is after a long time that Ganga water has become good for achaman (ritual sipping) in Haridwar. Joshi also added that the cause behind cleaner Ganga water is a 500 per cent decrease in total dissolved solids (TDS), industrial effluent, Dharamshala’s, sewage from hotels and lodges.
On the other hand, Tanmay Vashishth, Ganga Sabha General Secretary, told TOI that Ganga has never appeared this clean. RK Kathait, State Pollution Control Board (PCB) regional officer said that there is a visible difference in the quality of Ganga water. Apparently, this change has been ushered by the lack of human activities as no pilgrims have been visiting the twin holy towns of Haridwar and Rishikesh.
Meanwhile, Uttarakhand PCB is keeping a tab on the quality of Ganga water. A PCB chief scientific officer SS Pal told TOI that the Ganga water in Haridwar is worth bathing in and good for drinking after necessary treatment. In Rishikesh, the water is good for drinking after disinfection.
Pal also said that the presence of sewage treatment plants (STPs) in Uttarakhand has also improved Ganga water quality.

Seven Positive Reaffirmations
Positive reaffirmation is the bandwidth or Thinking highway, within which one is required to regulate the thoughts. The personality of the person is determined by the thought process of the person.
Based on the experience following are the seven Positive Reaffirmations :
- While going out to the workplace “Think Day would be good” & All is well
- Belief on self “Yes, I can & I will.”- I am the winner
- Happiness is my birthright
- Every Problem has a seed of a solution
- Whatever will do, do good for others & will help the needy
- Will see keys instead of locks, look for Possibilities, Solutions & Options
- This time will also pass.
Constant chanting of these reaffirmations will contribute to Positive Transformation.
“Persevere Consistently to Achieve Your Goals. Don’t leave until you reach your goal.”
