In 2009, &#8216;National Ganga River Basin Authority&#8217; (NGRBA) was setup for pollution control in the Ganga.<\/p>\n<p>NGRBA, a World Bank-funded scheme, was aimed at effective abatement of pollution and conservation of Ganga and 70 per cent of the total project cost was contributed by the Centre and the remaining expenses were borne by the states, he said.<\/p>\n<p>To this, the bench said, &#8220;better be careful of what you say. We take it as almost nothing has happened in reality. It is not suddenly that we are asking for all the information from you.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have been waiting for the last one year. But for one reason or the other, you have been delaying the issue. We don&#8217;t want to comment on that. But this time we are not leaving it to your discretion, be rest assured.
