Thus, the duty to protect and to prevent environmental degradation is
further intensified which shall not be used as a reason for postponing cost
effective measures due to the lack of scientific certainty. 26. The
precautionary principle requires that the entire efficient be diversified for
providing manure to the agricultural produced by the proper drainage inside
their and not even a single drop of water either polluted by the chemical
affinity or through bio-degradable substance and even the water after treatment
thereof may not be allowed to pour inside the holy river Ganges. 27. The natural
resources are exploited and the state with all sincerity and good intension is
not able to provide the general common benefit to the people due to social
conflicts arise as a natural adverse consequent , of political ambitions. The
conflicts arise between people living upstream and those living downstream.
Thus, when these conflicts submerges with different ideology prevalent between
different social groups, the poor surviving on natural resources is dependent
even to consume the sewage of the effluent class of people being drainage and
poured inside the water of river Ganga which is deemed as purified water
without any contaminations substance by the religious ruler population of our
nation visiting as pilgrimage during Kumbh mela (Confluences). Thus, in such
social conflicts, prier attention has to be paid for former group which is both
financially and politically weak in consonance with the requirement contained
by its provisions in the preamble, fundamental rights, fundamental duties and
directive principle to take care of such deprived section of people. Long Time
proposal of construction of 11Barrages for preservation of water Sl. No. Site
of Proposal Useful Storage to be available in Million Cubic meter 1. Barrage
No. 1 on river Ganga at 295 Kilometer downstream of Allahabad near Village
Zamania in District Ghazipur. 1335 2. Barrage No. 2 on river Ganga at 100
Kilometer downstream of Allahabad near Village Gaipura in Mirzapur District.
1507 3. Barrage No. 3 on river Ganga at 40 Kilometer downstream of Allahabad
near Village Kokhraj in Allahabad District. 130 4. Barrage No. 4 on river Ganga
at 90 Kilometer upstream of Allahabad near Village Kalakankar in Pratapgarh
District. 411 5. Barrage No. 5 on river Ganga at 130 Kilometer upstream of
Allahabad near Village Bitaura in Fatehpur District. 238 6. Barrage No. 6 on
river Ganga at 210 Kilometer upstream of Allahabad near Kanpur. 88 7. Barrage
No. 7 on river Ganga at 230 Kilometer upstream of Allahabad near Unnao. 39 8.
Barrage No. 8 on river Ganga at 250 Kilometer upstream of Allahabad near
Kannauj. 52 9. Barrage No. 9 on river Ganga at 430 Kilometer upstream of
Allahabad in Farrukhabad. 156 10. Barrage No. 10 on river Ganga at 430
Kilometer upstream of Allahabad in District Etah. 128 11. Barrage No. 11 on
river Ganga at 465 Kilometer upstream of Allahabad in District Etah. 134 Above
proposal of barrages will be advantageous in following ways :- That the storage
created will be available for agricultural use during the scarcity period of
Non-Monsoon. The Storage can be utilized for rapid industrialization of
backward and other regions as water can be used for industries, Power station
etc. This will help in the general up-liftment of the masses and will ensure
adequate drinking water, supplies. The effect of pollution can be controlled by
regulating flow in river. This will boost tourism by way of developing picnic
spot around the reservoirs. The reservoirs can be used for developing
fisheries. As a substantial part of the discharge in the river will be stored
and used during monsoon period, it will go a logway in controlling floods
downstream. 28. That the evaporation losses are estimated by pan evaporation
method with the assumption that about 25% of these losses would be controlled
by adopting suitable control method preferably chemical method. 29. That an
assessment of minimum available discharge in the river is made on the basis of
10 daily discharge data at 75% dependability of Kharif crops areas are limited
to the extent of minimum discharge so available. The discharge is excess of
minimum discharge will be allowed to flow downstream or to fill up the pond.
Thus uniform supplies for Kharif irrigation in the period of June to October
can be assured. Generally it is observed that irrigation can be achieved to a
great extent during Rabi and Kharif with the available supplies from barrages.
30. That excessive poaching of these innocent aquatic animals by fishermen for
the want of their flesh and oil has created threat to their existence and they
are now at the brink of extinction, particularly at Allahabad. Whereas about 20
year back they were found in abundance in between Sangam and Sirsa Ghat. This
water course, where the river Tones joins the Ganga provide an ideal breeding
ground for these animals. Disappearance of Dolphin from the Ganga river is a
biological indicator of pollution as well as it also suggest that our
population particularly of the fishermen’s community is exceeding the carrying
capacity of the river. 31. That it is therefore our demand for declaring the
above river zone as a river biosphere region should be taken in consideration
by the concerned authorities and the NGOs operating all along the river course
in the region should be involved in the conservation of aquatic fauna and flora
of the river at the earliest. 32. That the task of policing the river does not
take up the task seriously nor is it properly trained to undertake the policing
of the river. Accordingly it is directed that the Govt. of Uttar Pradesh create
a fresh cadre of River Police in the state. This cadre shall be comprised only
of the rank of constables and such inspectors who shall otherwise be under the
control of the District Supdt. of Police. 33. That the Pollution Control Board
and Nagar Nigam, Allahabad have been directed to get the samples of the water
of Ganga from several places and get them tested and to display the result of
the analysis and file a counter affidavit by the next date indicating that the
order issued by this court as also by the High Power Committee of the Chief
Secretary are being implemented and carried out. 34. That the Bacterio-phases
present Ganga water in unique in the scenes that it can insert its germs in
almost all type of Bacteria (Host) and can bring about lyses built completes
its reproductive cycle only in a specific bacterial cell. This property of
Bacteria phages of Ganga coater is not known in other types of Bacteriophages.
Thus no harmful bacteria can multiply or exist in the Ganga water, That’s why
Ganga water does not rot or stink if stored for several days. 35. That water
from the Ganga is used to cleanse any place or object for ritual purposes. To
bathe in the Ganga is a life long ambition for Hindus also caste and ashes of
their dead in the river belief that this will guide the sools of the deceased
suffragist to paradise. Article 48- A of the Constitution provides that the
State shall endeavour to protect and improve the environment and to safeguard
the forests and wild life of the country. Article 51- A of the Constitution imposes
as one of the fundamental duties on every citizen the duty to protect and
improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers, and wild life
and to have compassion for living creatures. The proclamation adopted by the
United Nations Conference on the Human Environment which took place at
Stockholm from June 5 to 16, 1972 and in which the Indian delegation led by the
Prime Minister of India took a leading role runs thus: 36. That man is both
creature and moulders of his environment, which gives him physical sustenance
and affords him the opportunity for intellectual, moral, social and spiritual
growth. In the long and tortuous evolution of the human race on this planet a
stage has been reached when through the rapid acceleration of science and
technology, man has acquired the power to transform his environment in
countless ways and on an unprecedented scale. Both aspects of man’s
environment, the natural and the manmade, are essential to his well being to
the enjoyment of basic human rights – even the right to life itself. 37. That
the protection and improvement of the human environment is a minor issue which
affects the well being of peoples and economic development throughout the
world; it is the urgent desire of the peoples of the whole world and the duty
of all governments.
