THE Ganga Task Force (GTF) was stationed along the banks of the Ganga with the objective of preventing pollution from both industries and citizens. The GTF is a specialized unit of the Territorial Army established under the public participation component of the Namami Gange programme. The GTF conducts routine patrols of the ghats to monitor activities such as the disposal of idols, flowers and other materials into the Ganga. Boat patrols are conducted to observe and safeguard biodiversity, ensuring that fishing activities in the Ganga adhere to approved practices. This proactive approach helps protect the flora, fauna, and aquatic species in the Ganga.
The GTF has established an impressive nursery in the cantonment of Prayagraj, boasting thousands of saplings. The task force is actively engaged in planting trees along the banks of the Ganga. This afforestation initiative is one of the primary tasks undertaken by the GTF to contribute to the conservation and revitalization of the river.
