A few days back I wrote a post regarding a river in New Zealand that was given human status in. And within a week one of the High Courts in India gave a verdict where Ganga and Yamuna rivers were status of living entity.
It means now that the Ganga and Yamuna rivers will be treated like a natural person but only through a designated person.
Hopefully this verdict will reach to the ultimate goal - clean, unpolluted rivers.

Since the last 3 years or so this has been going on. Just talk but no walk.

Yes.. hoping for the positives to happen. but sometimes some laws are just stays in pen and paper - never implemented properly.

Keeping the world's rivers clean is very important. Even if only a little is achieved it will still be a positive step.

@ichchhe_mrityu And perhaps other countries will make similar recommendations which would be good too.

Exactly.. but I am really surprised for the verdict... may be the verdict is influenced by the verdict of New Zealand.

This verdict is surely going to improve the conditions of these waterbodies.
