•Ghazipur's historic Dadri Ghat, revered as Mother Ganga, is now a dumping ground due to human negligence and administrative apathy.

•Local resident Siddharth notes the situation is worse than in 20 years, with plastic replacing organic waste and a massive increase in garbage recently.
•Lack of civic sense and administrative sluggishness are evident; people throw garbage outside dustbins, increasing stench and disease risk.
•The article questions municipal monitoring and public responsibility, emphasizing that cleaning Ganga requires strict oversight and public awareness, not just budgets.
