Some matter of fact acknowledgement of failures.. Please don't day dream to treat the Ganges as an organisation. The mission to rejuvenate the Ganges River System needs legal Authorisation for a well structured Organisation which has to be fully empowered and authorised and funded to implement various remedial measures and be wholly and fully accountable for rejuvenation of River Systems as its work agenda. Government and multiple organs of it should remain responsive only and should not obstruct the work activity snatched from them due to their inefficiency.. Under PPP mode, D&B with O&M, Private sector should be given the responsibility under the legal protection by such an authority -- STPs, Common ETPs, Garland Sewersc and Interception of Nullahs and Drains, Management of Solid Wastes, Starting initiatives of Organic Farming under Co-operative structure along the banks of Rivers, Deployment of Innovative technologies to create positive impacts, etc. can be accomplished in next 7 to 8 years to set the river system of the Ganges right..and then, work agenda can be to make other rivers alive.
Inter-connection of Rivers and creating additional storage capacity for surface waters is also need of the hour.No state shall do it as real benefits can be for a bunch of states. Interlinking of Rivers and reservoirs can also be under the same authority.
