New Delhi: The government has been given two weeks to explain how it plans to clean up the Ganga, with irate Supreme Court judges asking, are you saving the Holy River? You are showing no urgency in this matter, only in other matters. The SC also said Centre that the issue of cleaning the Ganga is very important and has to be put on the front burner.
You are showing no urgency to protect Ganga,” an apex court bench headed by Justice T.S. Thakur said as Solicitor General Mukul Rohatgi appearing for the centre, sought two weeks adjournment on the issue.
The court told the solicitor general: “Are you saving the holy river. You are showing no urgency in this matter. But only in other matters.”
Some of the issues that ought to be on backburner are being put on the front burner, the court said as it sought a status report on the government’s action plan to clean the Ganga along with the roadmap on the action to be taken and the steps in that direction.
