The Supreme Court on Wednesday asked the Centre to furnish its stage-wise plan on cleaning of river Ganga, the 'dream project' of Narendra Modi govt. According to reports, the court demanded a report on the Ganga Action Plan as well.

The court also demanded a Power Point presentation on how government intends to clean the river. "Will Ganga be cleaned in this century or not?" the court asked, asking the Centre to file another affidavit in three weeks.

"After seeing your action plan, it seems Ganga will not be cleaned even after 200 years. You should take steps so that Ganga gets its pristine glory and future generations can see it. We don't know whether we will see it or not," the top court said today.

The apex court in effect demanded a concrete action plan.
