Supreme Court approached on `drying up' of Ganga tributaries
The Supreme Court was approached on Tuesday by an environmentalist ex-Naval officer seeking a direction to the Centre to take immediate steps to protect Bhagirathi and Bhilangana, the tributaries of Ganga, which he said faced a threat of drying fast.
The petition was filed after the Uttarakhand government had recently taken a decision to scrap some hydro-electric projects on these rivers.
