CAG flags failures in Namami Gange project in Uttarakhand

The report states that under the flagship programme, launched more than a decade ago to clean the Ganga river, the Union government provided around Rs 1,000 crore between 2018 and 2023, which is the audit period, for effective implementation of the project in the state. However, the report, which was presented during the ongoing budget session of the Uttarakhand Assembly, highlights several irregularities in the project.
