Pollution threatens "to kill" the River Ganges

Monday, November 23, 2009

Interesting story on the BBC this morning...

The Indian government says it intends to spend billions of pounds over the next 10 years cleaning up the polluted River Ganges.

Past efforts to clean up the river have failed and the quality of the water has noticeably deteriorated.

Chris Morris reports from the holy city of Varanasi, a centre of Hindu pilgrimage.
