Modi government must know the difference between Ganga river being clean and looking clean. The fall in discharge of industrial waste has achieved only the latter.
The Modi government has issued a 15-point directive, cordoning-off ghats and levying a fine of Rs 50,000, prohibiting the immersion of idols in Ganga and its tributaries during Dussehra, Diwali, and other festivals.

You guys talk as if river gangs arose since 2014 and has been unclean only since then!!!! Where were you guys before 2014?? Why you guys didn’t give these suggestions to the previous govt? Anyways looks like you guys have trust on PM Modi, and believe that at least he will do something about it or perhaps you think only this man can do something about it.. ..whatever, high time guys, stop being so negative and biased…
It’s a congress paid media.So guys dont believe any news this print,scroll and wire publish.Take it as a joke and read it as an entertainment.Its a biased article.
I am disappointed with a such kind of mediocre article… In the past no one cared/ bothered about cleaning Ganga river.. some of the politicians were very busy in looting the treasure of our country n the tax payers money.. Now there is a Prime Minister who got elected in the full majority n cares about his country… The whole World is praising for his work n vision.. At least now u all try to support him for his efforts instead of criticizing every acts done by our Hon’ble PM.. Instead of criticizing n back biting please come with visionary ideas.. so that our country come up with every difficult situations n move forward with a bright future… Dear Editor, it’s not about finding problems in every situations in fact it’s about finding solutions n let’s unite for the purpose..
It’s more like mocking then reporting. Every line has the word Modi Government. I can understand the reason of The Print existence and your audience.
The best part is in the end there is a small line

Why single out Ganga status is same for most of the rivers and lakes in the country. Government spends huge amount but the corrupted burocrats doesn’t bother to implement it sincierly as they don’t have any self motivation , the present labour law doesn’t empower s the government to fire and hire at it’s will, if it’s employees fail in their duties. Hence amend the existing law immediately. Put the nation first.
Good Article! The Ganga has been “getting cleaned” since Rajiv Gandhi’s time and still nothing much has changed. The author is absolutely correct in stating that all govt agencies should speak to each other and first met get their data right. Real political will and imaginative and bold ideas are required to get our rivers clean
It seems your channel is anti Modi like some other channels are Pro Modi…. It is not good for the country…. Original thing should come to the forefront
Whilst industrial waste definitely do not make up the whole of the pollutants suffocating Ganga, it definitely owns a share. Maybe it’s time for the print to know the difference between Ganga looking clean, and Ganga actually becoming “clean-er”
There is a contravercy in his own statement he says industrial pollution is not contributing much as compared to sewage generated by human excreta by pilgrimage population so it should be focused more on restricting this pollution due to particularly round the year people visiting number of ghats along the river
The article is informative. But don’t understand repeated usage of the name of Mr.Modi.. Are they no other parties or government bodies that can be named as accountable in the Ganges cleaning programs m Are the population not involved? What about so called environmentalists, why are they not adding inputs. What about Opposition parties in UP,Bihar,etc what is their cooperation in this matter of cleaning. The credit goes to every Indian if Ganges is clean and fish live in her..
It is perverted negative thinking.Many results are visible in cleaning Ganga.Thousands of sewerage treatment plants of various sizes are commissioned in downstram towns /citizens & indutrial discharge also treated.It is continuous activity.Do’t forget our work culture,corruption & federal polity which will take decades.Whatever achieved is miracle.
You are right! These media are interested only in creating sensation. For this only negetive side of any issue suits them.
We cannot complain…. If one needs to remain sane and positive we should disconnect TV, Stop seeing Online News and stop buying News Papers.
Always… Whenever i get a notification from The Print, it always potrays negative side of things. Being a student of an avid English culture, i know how sentences are manipulated to portray negativity. Now people will say that he is Modi bhakat.. I have born into a democracy and being a true citizen of a democratic society means to listen and understand and reason multiple aspect of a single issue. Being rational. True.. Most of the media outlets are biased and act as a mouthpiece for the Modi government.. But when read these kind of article, it tells me that The print and media outlets like The print are just the other side of the coin. The critical ones. They criticize everything. How will the people of this country develop a rational mindset, a mindset that reasons before picking a side?
What the media is doing right now is just helping people to pick sides without rationalising
Mr.journalist
Why don’t you realise that he has seen more of india than you and me. He knows what has been how much has been done.
If you want to contribute to india positively, pl think and say something that will help country.
I am really surprised to see the way this news arlicle has criticised the reports of cleaner Ganga during this ongoing lockdown. It is just the way you see a glass of water half filled up.
We r seeing half glass with water in a positive way & this article is only reporting negativity by highlighting half glass empty.
I don’t understand the point of this!? If you believe that these photos are photoshoped (even if they were) you should provide the “correct” and “true” images. Why to leave the public hanging!? Please enlighten us, what is the truth?? Is the quality of Ganga poorer than it earlier was? Hasn’t it improved? If it hasn’t what proof do you have? Just your words, no photo evidence? Nah!? Oh, okay!! That’s cute, your journalism is so factual, can’t even believe!!!!!!!!!!
Heavily biased article. It doesn’t take rocket science to know that stoppage of industrial effluents has vastly improved quality of Ganga water and that’s why it looks cleaner. Writer should have clear mind.
Modi ji is doing what best for the country, on priority basis.
Dont worry minister concern will see what is Photoshoped or not modi ji has better things to do.
You cant close down all the factories in one go it take time and money so important things are done first.
When things not done for 70 years of rule from previous govt can not b done in 6 years
What you hv to say about when Rajiv gandhi sectioned crores of rupees for cleaning of ganga where dd that money go , every one knows what happened.
We and you hv to to clean the ganga.
I am not an Indian citizen, but I care for the well-being of the Ganga and the people that live and depend on the Ganga.
Would have been nice if article contained actual pics and with water quality tests, would have given the article journalistic integrity.
As a reader I am looking for this.
Secondly, article speaks about photoshoped pics of the Ganga, would have been nice to see these pics with reasons why it is fake, it educates the reader to spot fraud.
Thirdly, article seems condescending towards your PM, as if he is a layman and would be fooled. Also a claim that he is currently being supplied with fake information. (where is the proof of that?) Have a link to the ministry that is supplying fake images and the reporter should provide actual photos as proof.
As a reader, I find that journalism in India and globally is lacking the scientific and mature strength behind it.
People are looking for sincere and well researched reports. Separate the men from the boys, so to speak.
Why will the PM of a country form an opinion based on images, photoshoped or otherwise? More so the cleanliness of a river, which is as any intelligent being will know, monitored along the whole length of it, in terms of chemical composition and other particulate observations? This Misra is innocent of good sense and intelligence. To caution the general public of the pitfalls of images is one thing, but to caution a man who has all the relevant information at his disposal is stupidity.
Why do journalists spoil an otherwise good article by giving it a heading which is sensational but wrong and stupid.
The article is talking on facts. It’s pointing out correctly at how wrong information is leading to inaccurate results. You on the other hand sirs are very biased. Anyways no point showing to people who are too blind to see.
Good article, and I agree with the photoshopped lenses saying ‘all is well’. High time we wake up
Rightly said , Manoj ! Unlike the writer none are blind !
It’s been a long time since anyone stopped talking theprint seriously ??
What positive you are talking about. Come out of your biased mind. BJP Govt. did nothing positive towards cleaning Ganga. Now due to Covid-19 pandemic Ganga in upper part shows clean but in lower and middle it is still dirty, when the lock down is withdrawn Ganga will be dirty again. Now whole world is under lockdown, in our neighbouring Bangladesh, Pakistan also.
What positive side you are talking about. Come out of your biased mind. In six years Govt. did nothing to clean Ganga. This is fact
Because they are paid by communists and those people are Anti-modi government so yeah they are just a Communist mouthpiece
Why are you not* There! FTFY ?
Indeed..
They must ‘commission positive sides in all of your articles’ — Fixed That For Ya, as well. ?
At last.. You don’t trust a certain Iyerwal( no salutation!), do you? ? Or any of the guest columnists who are retired military-personnel( “Jawans”, “Colonel”, “Lieutenant Colonel”, yadda-blach-boop) as well, do you?
{crooning }Uhhhh….{/ crooning} Why don’t you try Rubika err.. Naalaaya err.. Ha! Ms Naila Inayat’s writeups, as well? They must be positive for your heart and mind as they’re uniformly slanted against the Pakistani leadership?!! “Thank Me Now.” ?

You guys are proving again n again how much biased is your reporting trends…
Stop wasting your energies in the things which can’t be won.
You ain’t a journalist…You are a puppet
It’s a congress paid media.So guys dont believe any news this print,scroll and wire publish.Take it as a joke and read it as an entertainment.Its a biased article.
congress ka media hai The Print..ban this media.
Useless article did they have proof or evidence for it.
Author seems very expert in poluution varities & levels. Request him to study the Delhi water quality & publish an article on the same
Intension of the article is quite clear. Request the expert author to write next article on Delhi water quality

Modi is actually final messiah of Islam, aka Mahdi. Mahdi will destroy Kafirs like you. Modi is chosen by Allah & represents the will of Allah

Abbe mishra how much did you get from opposition parties to report this…. Fake and paid media
Those pics have been uploaded by the IT cell to fool the Nation.
After all credit lena hai Saab ko.
Stone pelting media
Nonsense paid ,Cheap.born negative article.
How long will my comment be under moderation?
Can we ask PM and all BJP cronies to take a dip in the gangs once all factories start,, especially on the UP side
There is a contravercy in his own statement he says industrial pollution is not contributing much as compared to sewage generated by human excreta by pilgrimage population so it should be focused more on restricting this pollution due to particularly round the year people visiting number of ghats along the river
All Negativity i found in this reporting group in all their articles….
The problem with you guys are that you are Anti India. Dividing India is what you guys want. Shameful Journalism
Sponsored to write against the india !
Have some shame .
Go join some political party .The print is full of anti government post. Can’t believe that there is nothing positive happening in the county.
It’s good to criticize , but with you it’s an agenda / propoganda and negativity is in your DNA.
I believe you get paid to write these post .
