Answers
River Ganga has been declared as biological disaster.
A recent study has claimed that the people who are living along the banks of the River Gange are more prone to get cancer. Some of the places the study highlighted are Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Bengal.
Also the study highlighted the danger of extinction in one of the world’s unique species that lives only in Ganga, the Ganga River Dolphin. They listed the unique species under endangered soon after the results of mercury analysis from the river water.
We have to consider again who is responsible for today's situation of Ganga River which was once known to be the life line of ancient India. According to the study, the prominent reasons for the pollution in Ganga are, increased population along its banks, dumping industrial wastes, religious tradition which result in floating of 40000 dead bodies on the water of Ganga.
These are the reasons why Ganga has been declared as Biological Disaster.
