A significant development has unfolded as the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) receives the authority to approve the discharge of treated sewage into water bodies. The move is aimed at fostering the mission's objective of rejuvenating the Ganga and its associated water sources. The Indian Express reported on this noteworthy decision, emphasizing its potential impact on enhancing water quality and promoting sustainable water management practices.

The National Mission for Clean Ganga, tasked with the monumental goal of restoring the health of the Ganga river, now holds the power to authorize the release of treated sewage into rivers, canals, or other water bodies. This strategic empowerment is a crucial step toward leveraging treated wastewater for environmental benefits, aligning with broader efforts to address water pollution and improve the overall health of water ecosystems.

The report underscores the significance of this newfound authority in the context of water resource management.
