Kanpur: City will be the culminating point of the five-day Ganga Yatra launching today. It covers districts like Ballia, Ghazipur, Chandauli, Varanasi, Mirzapur, Bhadohi, Allahabad and Fatehpur respectively.
All the districts are situated on the banks of the river. A big public meeting would be held at quite a famous Ganga Barrage on ensuing January 31.
The salient feature of this much-publicised yatra is to make the rural people aware of the ongoing namami gangey drive to rid the holy river of the dreadful pollution.
As many as 1088 villages will be covered through this wonderful yatra. This is a big endeavour by the government.
