Monitoring real time data on pollution is dynamic step. Cheers for that. However, when would NMCG do anything about static structures erected by ULBs or others right under the nose of ULBs and District Administration , as Concrete Channels, U/G Pipes and as drains that bring high concentration of pollutants into the holy Ganges. Pollutants get diluted by thousand times due to say a 30 to 50 mgd flow of black raw sewage by a drain mixing with huge flows of the holy river...and Monitoring that diluted level is being attempted!!! It is high time that NMCG starts dismantling the static structures bringing pollutants into the holy river and providing for innovative interventions to at least put the pollutant flows thru Tube Mills or STP/ETPs even on short term basis till a permanent solution is put in place. Examine such structures upstream of Assi Ghat in Varanasi, our PM's constituency..
