Saugata Roy speaks during Question Hour on renovation of Ganga ghats in Bengal
The Minister spoke at length about the Mission but did not say a word about any project for West Bengal. The river Ganges flows for about 400 km in West Bengal, as far as I know. Ganga flows from Manikchak till Gangasagar in our State. But the Minister is silent on Bengal.
In my constituency there are four municipalities on the banks of river Ganga. In three of those municipalities we renovated the ghats during UPA 2 time. We have been writing letters for the last two years for the renovation of Baranagar ghat and setting up electric crematorium there. The Minister only acknowledges the letters but has not taken any concrete action.
The Minister mentioned 6 cities, five of which are in UP and one in Bihar. What about rejuvenation of Ganga in West Bengal? Will the Minister please shed light on that. This is my question.
