India's Ganga and Yamuna rivers deemed safe for bathing during Maha Kumbh despite pollution concerns.
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) in India has reported that the water quality of the Ganga and Yamuna rivers during the recent Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj was fit for bathing, with fecal coliform levels at 1,400 MPN/100 ml, below the permissible limit of 2,500 MPN/100 ml.
The report also noted that dissolved oxygen and biochemical oxygen demand levels were within acceptable limits.
However, the CPCB highlighted significant variability in the data due to factors like sewage drainage, tributary inflows, and weather conditions.
The report will be reviewed by the National Green Tribunal on April 7.
