Gangajal News
An annual pilgrimage undertaken by devotees of Shiva during the holy month of Sawan.
This sacred month has begun from July 11, 2025, marking the start of the Kanwar Yatra.
This year, the Kanwar Yatra will continue until Sawan Shivratri.
The supply of Gangajal is likely to be restored after the conclusion of the four-day Chhath Puja festival.
A video of the purification exercise on Wednesday has gone viral. A case was lodged later and Samajwadi Party Yuvjan Sabha state president Bhavesh Yadav and 8-10 others were arrested, Superintendent of Police Chakresh Misra said on Thursday.
The protesters alleged that Giriraj stood for everything that Ambedkar had fought against and therefore his garlanding of the statue was tantamount to 'defiling it'.
Ganga and other major rivers have submerged vast swathes of Bihar, forcing thousands from their homes.
Had there been employment, the number of kanwariyas would have been less on the roads, said Sharad Yadav.
Fifteen `Gangajal` bottles were sold in seconds on Sunday in Kolkata. The same happened on Monday.
“I used to get several requests that with this vast network of post can we get Ganga water?” Communications Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
Dadri's Bishada village, where Akhlaq was lynched by a mob following rumours of killing a cow and eating beef, is all set to undergo a purification ceremony.
