Addressing a panel discussion on 'Save Ganga and Save Himalayas' here, Bharati urged religious leaders to hold a national congregation to give a nationwide call for effective public participation in Ganga Rejuvenation programme of the Central government, a statement said.
The minister suggested that this national congregation may adopt an appeal to the people to keep Ganga clean.
She also suggested that religious preachers may also be requested to urge the public to keep the river clean at the end of their religious meetings.
Bharti's suggestion was well received at the panel discussion where religious leaders from various communities were in attendance.
