National Green Tribunal (NGT) chairperson Justice A K Goel on Sunday said that the effluent discharge of industries and sewage water of cities, towns, and villages are polluting rivers – including the Ganges – across the country.
Talking to reporters after addressing a seminar on environment safety at Sultanpur Lodhi (Kapurthala) organised by renowned environmentalist and AAP Rajya Sabha member Baba Balbir Singh Seechewal, Justice Goel criticised the state governments for their failure to find a suitable solution to the solid waste and sewage water problems, which are endangering human lives and also destroying the environment.
