The government has formed two separate committees to prepare the draft of Ganga Act, which aims at expediting implementation of Namami Gange programme and lay down guidelines to rid the holy river of silt.
A committee under Justice (Retd) Girdhar Malviya has been entrusted with responsibility of preparing the draft act that should have provisions to ensure cleanliness and uninterrupted flow of Ganga, an official statement said.
A four-member committee has been floated under chairmanship of Madhav Chitale, member of National Ganga River Basin Authority, to prepare guidelines for desilting the river stretch.
