The Uttarakhand government today said it would ensure the removal of the debris blocking the flow of Ganga in Haridwar.
A huge deposit of debris after the flash floods of 2013 has choked the river at places, disrupting the flow of water to all its banks.
The issue was raised by BJP MLA Madan Kaushik during the Zero Hour in the state assembly. He said some seers were on an indefinite fast in Haridwar, demanding that the residue be cleared.
Responding to it, State Irrigation Minister Yashpal Arya said the government would take necessary steps in this regard.
