Had the state pollution control Boards of Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal have implemented the act in letter and spirit the situation would have been different. The Member Secretaries of these Boards should have filed cases before the designated courts against every municipalities, Industrial houses and commercial establishments which are draining their untreated effluent in Ganga. In 1986 the Parliament of India legislated The Environment Protection Act by which a legal definition of Environment has been provided. Water has been made an ingrediant of Environment. There are provisions for penal action against any one who violates the provisions of the Environment Protection Act, 1986, but unfortunately the Authorities which have been given power to file the cases before the designated courts have failed to discharge their duty. This problem can not be solved by expanding money on the mis directed programmes. The only solutions lies in implementing The Water Act, 1974 and The Environment Protection Act, 1986.

My, aimis to serve the nation in various ways. You must be aware of the pollution being caused due to the disposal of used flowers and other worship materials in our Holy River Yamuna , and carried by all the rivers of India. Our organization, YFF, has undertaken a project to clean the rivers of INDIA starting with The YAMUNA, which will be starting from Delhi . We have devised a 3 Point Programme to help clean YAMUNA RIVER in DELHI. A) To stop people from throwing the Ceremonial flowers / Poly bags etc in YAMUNA River. B)All things being currently thrown in YAMUNA to be collected & a recycling process to be initiated. C) To organize children currently engaged in coin collecting & rag picking and give them employment & education. Sir/Madam , I Gopi Dutt want to draw your attention to problem that Delhi has been facing since as long as 10 yrs now. I am talking about the pollution in Yamuna caused by devotional material, Polybags, Flowers etc. Our govt., different NGOs and now Maharaja Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji have put their best efforts to clean up the river. Sri Sri Maharaja Ji is a spiritual guru he has no desire or want for money or fame. From South Africa to America, Iraq to Kashmir people worship him and follow him. Whole world wants to meet him, seem him and Seek his blessings, still he took over the charge to clean the Yamuna in Delhi from various disposed things. Maharaja Sri did the work with his own hands, he tried cleaning up the river by picking up the disposal on his own. He is the first spiritual guru in the world who left popularity and still tried to clean the Life Line of Delhi PRANAM,
