Haridwar. Ganganahar has been closed, causing severe water shortage at Har Ki Pauri and other Ganga ghats. Due to this, devotees who come to Haridwar to take bath have to return disappointed due to lack of water. After talks between Gangasabha and UP Irrigation Department, the officials have assured to release the water, which may provide some relief to the devotees.
Due to closure of Ganganahar, cleaning and other important works are also being conducted there. Officials said that water will be released again into the Ganga on November 1, due to which the water level at Har Ki Pauri and other ghats will be restored to normal. Let us tell you that on the occasion of Sharad Purnima on 16th October, the quantity of water in Har Ki Pauri may also reduce.
