उत्तर
Decision of the Chairman of the Municipal Corporation: Each one of us is aware of the gravity of situation. Until and unless we take stem measures, we cannot bring back the glory of Kanpur and that of the Ganga. We will pass a resolution to make all corrective actions at a faster pace. Factory owners will be made to fall in line. Each and every citizen of Kanpur will be made a protector of Kanpur. In a task of this gargantuan scale we need each others’ cooperation and commitment.
Factories will be made to implement proper effluent treatment policies to reduce pollution levels.

For education of children better implementation of Sarva Siksha Abhiyan will be carried out in Kanpur.
