Ghaggar River Water Unfit: Cancer Risks Raised in Parliament

The Ghaggar River's water in Punjab and Haryana is polluted and not safe for drinking or swimming, according to the government.

This information came out in response to a question in Parliament.

A study showed that people living near the river are more likely to get cancer.

The government is working to help treat cancer patients by providing care facilities and financial aid through different programs.

These programs provide free or low-cost treatment and insurance coverage for cancer patients.
