Answer:
The
central government sponsored scheme of National River Conservation Plan (NRCP)
is being implemented by the central government jointly with the state
governments on a cost-sharing basis.
The pollution abatement works under NRCP presently covers polluted
stretches of 39 major rivers and 185 towns spread over 20 states in the country.
The activities of Ganga Action plan (GAP) Phase-1 initiated in 1985, were
declaired closed on 31st March, 2000.
The steering committee of the National River Conservation
Authority reviewed the progress of the GAP and necessary correction on the basis
of lessons learnt and experience gained from GAP Phase-I.
These have been applied to the major polluted rivers of the country by
the NRCP. The Ganga Action Plan (GAP) Phase-II has been merged with NRCP. A
total of 215 schemes of pollution abatement have been sanctioned. So far, 69 schemes
have been completed under this action plan. A million litres of sewage is
targeted to be intercepted, diverted and treated.
