The government has instituted a team named Ganga Vahini that has been provided the responsibility of protecting the ghats of River Ganga across the entire area that is covered by the river. This is among the various measures that have been announced by the Indian Government in this regard. The government is also looking to train the spotlight on the drains that have been one of the major sources of pollution of River Ganga. There is a proposal to stop the discharge of even treated waste water into the river and use it for industrial or agricultural purposes instead. Uma Bharti, the Water Resources, Ganga Rejuvenation and River Development Minister, has also stated that the riverfront model followed in the instance of Sabarmati will be used for the ghats of Ganga as well.
