Mahakumbh 2025: Today is the 41st day of Prayagraj Mahakumbh (Saturday, 22 February). So far, more than 60 crore people have taken a dip of faith here. There is now only 4 days left for the Mahakumbh Mela to end. But as the fair is moving towards the end of the fair, there is also a flood of devotees. Meanwhile, questions were also raised about the water of Sangam. This question arose when the Central Pollution Control Board said in its report that the Sangam water has been polluted.
CPCB Report- Sangam water quantity of fee
According to the CPCB report, the water of the confluence is not worth bathing, the water of Ganga Yamuna has been polluted. The amount of fecal coliform (waste water) in the confluence water has increased considerably. CPCB did not consider the confluence water to bathe for the quality due to the increase in the level of fee.
The acceptable limit of the fecal coliform of CPCB is 2500 units per 100 ml. But after bathing crores of people in Sangam water, the concentration of waste water has increased here.
Expert said- Many parameters are not available in this report
Questioning this report of CPCB, Professor Chandra Kumar Singh of the School of Advanced Studies of TER said that many parameters are not available in this report. In the CPCB report, there are many parameters that were not shown or told. Maybe they may be in their report, but the report which is available is not all those parameters. Those who are directly indicated by this, all this ficor coliform is coming due to human exercise or waste. Therefore, it would be appropriate to speak correctly on it only after the report is fully revealed.
JNU professor said- more samples are needed for such a report
At the same time, Amit Sharma, Assistant Professor of JNU’s School of Environmental Science, says that we need more samples for this method. It would not be appropriate to say this on the basis of the report that I have seen at first sight and the data that is still in the public forum. According to me, we need more data, and samples to produce this thing. It has to be told that there is a sampling in the down stream?
Experts raised questions- what sampling happened, what is data in up stream
Professor Amit Sharma further said that what is the data in the up stream? Has sampling happened? How much flux is it? What is the flow of water being released? What is his position from where sampling? After getting all those things, we can book conclusion if we study the scientist of our country.
In the report available in public forum, oxygen in Sangam water sufficient
The expert said that in the report which has come on the public forum, you will see that desigal oxygen is very high. If you see, then it has gone up to 7-10 designed desire oxygen. Also, the amount of BOD is moving around 3 ml. The biggest thing is that if you analyze this data, then you will say that there is a positive association in BOD and oxygen here. In such a situation, the expert also admitted that the water of the confluence is worth noting to bathe.
The expert further said- If the bod increases then the Do will decrease. If the do increase, then the bod will decrease, which was not found in it. A logical answer can be given to him. If so many devotees are bathing together, the water that is, the exchange of air can increase due to physical intervention. The expert further said, we have been told the count of the featless coliform but there are many sources of it. Should we directly say that dirty water is being poured into it?
CPCB report was wrong interpreted: Expert
Expert said- Study says a healthy man who goes into a water body of bath, he also has about 5000 such bacteria which are fertilized coliforms. Sangam water is taking 70-80 lakh baths in a day, so before reaching any concrete you should have a data of down stream. The expert also said that the media reported the report of CPCV.
