All schemes are being run by the Central and State Governments for the protection of the Ganga. Regardless, its health is declining year after year. Recent research by the scientists of the Indian Wildlife Institute has come to the fore that dangerous elements such as organoclonin, organophosphate in the national river are increasing rapidly. Apart from this, other aquatic organisms, including fish, are constantly dying. Besides, if these fish are used in food then it is bound to be a disease like cancer.
Scientists have presented this report in the 14th Annual Research Seminar held at the Indian Wildlife Institute. According to this, the team led by senior scientist Dr. S.A. Hussein and Dr. Anju Vithal examined Gangajal samples from Gangotri to Ganga Sagar at selected 35 places. In these they found that many dangerous pesticides such as organoclonaline pasteicides, neurotoxic, organophosphate pesticides were found in Gangajal.
According to scientist Ruchika Shah, the highest pestiside in Gangajal has been found in Hasimpur in West Bengal and Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh. He said that due to the poorly used pesticides in the plains of the Gangetic plains, farmers are also getting worse. Fishes tissue of four species were examined, they found dangerous pesticides in their body.
Research has shown that only 49% aquatic areas in the Ganges are suitable for breeding of aquatic organisms. Whereas 51 percent of the water in the area has been polluted so that there is little chance of breeding now. If there is a need to save the existence of the aquatic organisms of the Ganges, 40% of the river will have to be kept in the river.
