Plans drawn to make Sabarmati river pollution-free

Ahmedabad : In a bid to revitalise the Sabarmati river here, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation has embarked on an ambitious plan to make it pollution-free.

The historical river, which serves as the backdrop of Mahatma Gandhi's Ashram, has faced the brunt of rapid urbanisation over the years as industrial effluents and sewerage lines release a lot of polluted water into it leading to a foul smell.

"Earlier, the monsoon river, which bisects the city, used to dry up after rainy season. Now the Gujarat government has been regularly filling it up with water from the Narmada. But the water remains stagnant as it is stopped by a Raska Weir to retain the flow and the pollutants released into it add to the stink," they said.
