A decade or 2 ago the gov't made a huge effort to "clean up the Ganges". It was effective! But in the end nothing changed since the population kept rising & the pollution kept getting worse. Several cities got better drinking water & some pollution got removed, but not nearly enough. The pollution is still rising but there's little effort now to slow it.
And yes they continue to hold their ceremonies IN the Ganges, resulting in disease outbreaks & such things. 🙀
