Ganga which is deemed as purified water without any contaminations substance by the religious ruler population of our nation

The balance between environmental protection and the development activities could only be maintained by strictly following the principle of “Sustainable development”. The development strategy catered the needs without negotiating the ability of up coming generations while “sustainable development” ensures the protection of environment as a guarantee to the bequeath to the future. Thus, right to clean environment is a guaranteed fundamental rights and it may be declared as a component of article 21 of the constitution of India ( M.C. Mehta versus Union of India – 2001(3)SCC-756).

            The U.N. declaration on the rights to development may include the whole spectrum of civil, religious, culture, economic, political and social process. The adherences to a sustainable development principal is a sign quo non for the maintenance of the symbiotic balance. Thus, the concept of intergenerational equity, public  trust doctrine and precautionary principles are the ingredients of our environmental jurisprudence.

            Large equality of static water provides fertile breeding grounds for disease – carrying vectors. The disaster management may be mitigated by taking timely action within its frameworks.

            The Hon’ble Court been conscious of its constitutional obligation issued effective orders to ensure the protection of the environment and to provide a check to the spreading pollution and thereby non compliance of anti-pollution low and the infringement thereof result in spreading of pollution and thereby degradation of  ecology (Indian Council for Environ-legal Action versus Union of India in 1996(V)SCC-281).

            River Bhagirathi andBhilangana rise from the glaciers in the Himalayas, which is now the part of the state of Uttranchal.

            The human rights people and environmental activists have approach to the Hon’ble Court through Public Interest Litigation to protect the interest of the general public.

            The upstream environmental and economical impacts are: -

1. Soil Erosion,
2. Micro-Climatic Changes,
3. Loss of Flora and Fauna,
4. Changes in Spawning Grounds,
5. Land slips, situation and sedimentation,
6. The water logging and solirity.
7. Impact on aquatic ecosystem.

Our constitutional democracy may enshrine the concept of welfare states, for which we have to strive or mol to from Vedic times which is –

“Let all be happy, let all be sin free, let everyone see good in everything and there should be no suffering anywhere.”-             (Benefit of all and happiness of all).

In the march of progress the humblest and weakest should not be left behind. Taking a fish from a river and putting it to an aquarium, where it may survive but it can never be happy.

Thus, the mere suggestions and measurements to protect the water of river Ganga from pollution may not have the desirable result for having the sanctity of river Ganga being protected amongst those who comes to have a dip at Sangam during Kumbh festival after taking the bath from outside, as there body secretion of sweat  may not pollute river Ganga. Thus, apart from the threats of series of irreversible damage. We should also endeavor to protect the rights of conscience, faith and religion, guaranteed under article 25 to these pilgrimage comprising of a segmentation of more than 5 crores of population visiting Allahabad during Kumbh festival for incarnation of their sins by their strengthen believe through mere dip, inside the holy water of Ganga Maata. Thus, the duty to protect and to prevent environmental degradation is further intensified which shall not be used as a reason for postponing cost effective measures due to the lack of scientific certainty.

The precautionary principle requires that the entire efficient be diversified for providing manure to the agricultural produced by the proper drainage inside their and not even a single drop of water either polluted by the chemical affinent  or through bio-degradable substance and even the water after treatment thereof may not be allowed to pour inside the holy river Ganges.

The natural resources are exploited and the state with all sincerity and good intension is not able to provide the general common benefit to the people due to social conflicts arise as a natural adverse consequent , of political ambitions. The conflicts arise between people living upstream and those living downstream. Thus, when these conflicts submerges with different ideology prevalent between different social groups, the poor surviving on natural resources is dependent even  to consume the salesh of the effluent class of people being drainage and poured inside the water of river Ganga which is deemed as purified water without any contaminations substance by the religious ruler population of our nation visiting as pilgrimage during Kumbh mela (Confluences). Thus, in such social conflicts, prier attention has to be paid for former group which is both financially and politically weak in consonance with the requirement contained by its provisions in the preamble, fundamental rights, fundamental duties and directive principle to take care of such deprived section of people.
