The National Mission for Clean Ganga emphasizes basin-wide interventions for river cleanliness. Wastewater from cities like Meerut, not on the main Ganga course, flows into the system. A Rs 691-crore sewerage project in Meerut aims for scientific wastewater management and reuse. This initiative ensures Meerut's wastewater does not reach the Ganga untreated. The mission states that a clean Ganga requires every city in its basin to change.
