Prayagraj: Once again scary pictures have started coming from Phapmau Ghat on the banks of the Ganges in the district. Here the dead bodies buried in the sand on the ghats have started peeping out once again. Now since the monsoon is about to come. In such a situation, the danger of these dead bodies flowing in the Ganges and polluting the holy Ganga water has increased. In view of the situation, there has been a stir in the government and administration. In a hurry, the administrative agencies have increased patrolling in the areas along the banks of the Ganges.
Let us tell you that during the Corona period, similar bodies were seen on the banks of the Ganges and in the water stream. The related pictures had become quite viral in the social media. Even such pictures were published in some newspapers. After this the government had to give clarification. Only after that, along with the District Magistrates of the districts along the banks of the Ganges, the NGT had completely banned the burial of dead bodies in the sand of the Ganges. It is being told that the dead bodies are still being buried at Phaphamau Ghat in Prayagraj.
In this regard, there have been reports in the media earlier as well, but every time the local administration used to abdicate its responsibility by issuing a guide line. But the current situation is somewhat different. Hundreds of dead bodies have come out as soon as the soil was removed from the graves built on the banks of the Ganges. Now the danger is that as soon as the Ganga floods in the rainy season, these dead bodies will start flowing with the water current. There is a danger of contamination of Ganga water due to this, the matter can also come in headlines in the international media. This has created a stir in the administration.
On the one hand, the administrative agencies have increased patrolling on the banks of the Ganges, while on the other hand, the Municipal Corporation is making people aware in the Muslim settlements that no one should bury the dead body in the sand of the Ganges. Please tell that due to lack of space in the cemetery, people have been burying dead bodies in the sand of the Ganges for a long time. With time, people have also started calling it an old tradition. In such a situation, despite a lot of persuasion by the administration, people are not ready to leave it in the name of tradition.
