India's Ganga River Clean‑Up Effort After Recent Floods

The Namami Gange program together with the Varanasi city government organized a large clean‑up, removing over one tonne of garbage at Dashashwamedh Ghat.

Volunteers, known as Gangaputras, encouraged the public to keep the river clean, especially during the Pitru Paksha period of honoring ancestors.

The campaign aims to protect the river’s health and make the area safer for tourists and residents.
