strong words, the apex court asked the central government, "Will Ganga be cleaned in this century or not?"
"Please try that the next generation is able to see the river in its original form. We don't know about our lives."
Unhappy with the affidavit submitted by the government, the Supreme Court asked the centre to submit a power-point presentation, which will have step-by-step details in the 'Ganga clean-up' project.
The Supreme Court observed, "The kind of affidavit that the government has submitted, it will take 200 more years to clean the river. It is a bureaucratic document. We want to understand your proposal on cleaning the river in layman's language."
The central government argued in the court that the holy river is so contaminated at some places that is impossible to dip in those locations for cleaning.
This is the second time the apex court pulled up the government on the project to clean the holy river. Last month the court had asked the government on its plans to clean Ganga.
