It has been told to Government that all River Systems and surface storages should be under a single authority fully empowered by legislation and budget and totally accountable. Allocated budgets get spent but accountability is simply not there as each agency hides behind the inefficiency of the other agencies in a multi-layered diffused accountability in governance and it is India with all its citizens that bears the brunt. Rhetoric's are plenty .Even at Varanasi, even to date, open air defecation near Assi River (a nullah) where ULB visibly discharges 50 mgd of untreated black sewage ..right into Ganges is a shame and Govt.s and its organs hide behind the dilution that happens but pathogens survive and do multiply. But it is still a call for Swatchh Bharat !
