Only 1% Of Holy Ganga Cleaned In 4 Years, Now Rs 50,000 Crore More Required For The Project

Administrative delays, poor contract management and lack of monitoring have led to cost escalation of more than Rs 49,800 crore in five national projects undertaken by the central government under river development and Ganga rejuvenation.

A comptroller and auditor general (CAG) report, tabled in Parliament on Friday, has reviewed five ongoing national projects and found that the physical progress of these projects are far below target, with the shortfall ranging from 8% to 99% in some cases.
