Q. ‘Varuna and Assi’ rivers, which were seen in the news recently, flow through which Indian state?
Answer:
Uttar Pradesh
Notes: The National Green Tribunal has set up a committee for rejuvenation of rivers Varuna and Assi in Varanasi, both of which joins the river Ganga.
This move has been made by the tribunal after taking note of the reported discharge of untreated sewage in these rivers and unauthorised constructions on the banks of these rivers.
