GANGA WATER CAN KILL GERMS 50 TIMES FASTER, AS PER RESEARCH MADE AND THE RIVER GANGA REMAINS COMPLETELY GERM-FREE, HENCE THE GANGA RIVER IS CONSIDERED A HOLY RIVER .

Ganga is a holy river and as per the study conducted by a leading scientist Ganga is the world's only fresh water river where 1100 types of bacteriophages naturally purify the water by eliminating pollution and killing fifty times more germs than their numbers, even altering their RNA . Bacteriophages, thought fifty times smaller than bacteria, possess incredible power. They infiltrate bacteria hack their RNA, and ultimately destroy them. According to the study the speciality of bacteriophages is that they destroy only the harmful bacteria. Each phage rapidly produces 100 to 300 new ones which continue the attack, eliminating harmful bacteria. Earlier in data figures released by Central pollution control Board (CPCB) last week it was highlighted that the Ganga water at Triveni Sangam is currently unsafe for bathing as it exceeds the prescribed limit for biological oxygen demand (BOD) , a key parameter to determine water quality. The BOD level at Sangam was recorded at 5.29 milligrams per litre at 8 am on January 19 as against the safe level of less than 3 milligrams per litres. Ganga's bacteriophages are host -specific, targeting only bacteria introduced during bathing. This self cleaning process mirrors the oceanic activities that purifies seawater. Ganga's 1100 types of bacteriophages target and destroy various germs, as such as per the research made on the captioned subject Ganga water can kill germs 50 times faster.
