The new show, 'Taaki Ganga Bahti Rahe' maps the journey of the Ganga from its source at Gangotri to its culmination at Gangasagar.
The six-episode documentary is being telecast every Sunday from July 6 onwards at 9:30 P.M. With a repeat telecast on Monday at 3:30 P.M., Prasar Bharti said in a release here.
The show has been put together by three reporters. In an effort to make the programme interactive, they have interviewed people living on the banks of the river which flows through multiple states in the country.
"This is not a generic show which only talks about the matter-of-fact problems but deals with the problems pertaining to specific regions.
"For example, in Uttarakhand, the focus is on the factors affecting the flow of the river while pollution and health issues dominate the discussion in Uttar Pradesh. In Bihar and West Bengal, the main concerns are pollution and erosion," said Director General of DD News, SM Khan.
