COVID 'Pandemic, Poverty, Rituals': Why Ganga Overflowed with the Dead | The Quint 

get well soon neighbour......Best wishes from Pakistan !

He is talking like an intellectual...the common man 👏

Heartbreaking, beyond imagination, we are praying for our indian brothers and sisters from Bangladesh

I am shaking with anger how can the govt not do any thing these poor people ?

IF YOU CAN'T BURN THE BODIES THEN BURY THEM. IT DIDN'T COST YOU.

And the Ganges used to be "Holy". It would interesting to know if people would still get a dip in it to get "pure".

I just don't understand...it's not the problem of not getting educated. It's the blind belief in all the rituals. We need go use some sense also. Poor water body. It would be crying for help. But we just dump more thinking it will heal itself.

Hats off for reporter being a brave lady.

This is so depressing.... even death has no respect.... lost of humanity....😢why always poor are punished .... not fair god .....all human deserve the equal love and respect

This is Nigeria and they are speaking the Yerouba language.

Ganga was contaminated because of Modi government. He has to pay for this sin.

See the corrupt pandits and those wood suppliers.."Salo maut me bhi inhe paisa kamana hai"..insaaniyat mar chuki hai..Sach me KALIYUG hai💔

Thanks Quint for bringing these up. Don't know how many such stories will be buried in the nook and corner of this country

RIP for all the souls and love for all who lost someone recently.

It's like a horror movie, remember partition where there were piles of bodies everywhere? Or bodies of Jews outside concentration camps? All those pictures I saw in textbooks, I'm now seeing them in reality.

Wait...... Actually this is journalism. Thank you Quint

Subtitles are not to the point. Because of it those who don't understand hindi are missing many gruesome details.

Why isn't quint covering the news in lakshadweep??? Please do that..people need to know that before it gets worse🙏🏻

When there will be high tide ganga river will expand and the bodies buried in the banks of river will automatically enter the river and then the river will be full of covid infected bodies and water will become infected! Sad😢

Asmitas reports are all really terrific. She takes great pains to rural places. Hope you are taking care 🙏

Did one guy just say that river Ganga can destroy its own pollutants?? Oohh bhaiyya kaunsa ganja maar rahe ho. If Ganga could clean its own pollutants then why did modi and his leaders spend crores on "cleaning" the river?? Maa Ganga ne bulaya tha modiji ko.... Kahaan hai chacha??

What the hell was that man saying in red? Ganga itself has been suffering from pollution... How the hell it can destroy bodies... Be practical 🙄

Poor people don’t have money for a decent burial. What a situation brought on us by uneducated rulers. Only god can save us now 😥

Their gods remain silent, and their priest tries to cover up.!💔 wake up ,question yourself if your God really exists

Extremism destroyed humanity of India people

Yeh hai ache din, mitron.

Now the string channel be like, this is a conspiracy to defame hinduism😑😑😑

Good job the quint & this lady reporter is really brave

Sad indeed. May their souls Rest In Peace. Condolences to the bereaved family. 🙏😇🙏

Good Way to control the population of this country, needs more supplements

Quint is Quint. Journalism is that matter for people..

This is happening bacause of uneducation. What Up govt. Is doing they should be educated ministers and not like sanyasi baba.

Why can't these Ambani run govt give Atleast rs 2000 to each family in UP ...anyway they are making profits even now....some little things can be done right...let them eat the whole country, a little help is humanly right

Vote for a clown and you get a circus. The voters are voting for these fools and then get surprised when these criminal politicians fail them. There is an MLA Jignesh Mevani Vadgam Assembly Constituency, Gujarat, please support people like him, also Akhil Gogoi, Mahua Moitra.

Thanks for reporting ground reality which heart breaking...

Quint. Now this is called real journalism.. Hats off

Maa Ganga is angry with the world wicked evil doers. We're seeing the Wrath of Mother Earth and Lord Shiva glory to God almighty 🙏

Hope this video is seen by that bigot CM whose Govt runs the state....

Exceptional reporting🙌

River cleans on it's own, what the hell ,this happens when the river has good flow and bodies get washed along the river. Education lack of it shows this madness.

How shocking scene is 😢😢😢PM , CM and the govt of India are deaf and dumb... Indians must raise voice

The world must embrace India

But Kangana toh boli thi "Nigeria hai". 💔

Guess what..Even the people of UP will forget this and vote for Yogi -Modi again in 2024.

To All Indians.. you are in our prayers.. you are not alone in this 🙏.. mein dil sy aap sub logoon Kay liyeh duwa karta hoon.. but plzzzz you should get vacinated as soon as possible.. vaccination is the only solution left. InshaAllah very soon it will be back to normal. Love you all.

SO TRAGIC 😥 SO VERY SAD 😥

When the outbreak started in China I could see this being an utter disaster for India no slap running water overcrowding so if I could see it coming why are we paying our politicians so much money to walk around blindly ignoring the obvious

I will never say Goodbye to you For Doctors and patients who died becosof Covid 19 Title : I will never say Goodbye to you Your energy knows And my energy knows That our journey in life will separate us But the Universal Energy will merge us again The distance has separated us But you will never go away from my memories I will never say Goodbye to you Your energy knows And my energy knows That we belong to the Universal Energy That our journey in life will separate us But the Universal Energy will merge us again I will never say Goodbye to you All the joys we shared has slipped away This pain lingers on impossible to sway I tried to ease the pain with a photo of you in my pillow Hoping to be with you whilst I sleep slow But the heartache remains and the pain lingers My tears flow like a river over my fingers Hopping to soothe this pain I will never say Goodbye to you Your energy knows And my energy knows That we belong to the Universal Energy That our journey in life will separate us But the Universal Energy will merge us again How many seasons will I have to bear Before our souls meet again As this pain will never go till we meet The feelings of Sorrow are etched in my heart It will never never be the same again I will never say Goodbye to you I thank you for the love, joy and memories we shared we wil meet again soon Your energy knows And my energy knows That we belong to the Universal Energy That our journey in life will separate us But the Universal Energy will merge us again I will never say Goodbye to you Viji

True... I find all that blurry screen disturbing, thanks for the warning

Alhumdulilah I am Muslim such a big blessing it is 🥺

India is facing most worst situation.

Hari ni aku tengok sungai Gangga sudah bersih. Kan elok begitu. Tentu org akan puji dan suka nak dtg kat sini.

but i cant see any dead body floating there...😳👀 the river looks clear with any dead bodies...

Great journalism 😍

Yeh toh Nigeria hain ? Nigeria ke log kitni achi hindi bolte hain

That man in the red shirt has been fed up from the beginning, knowing floating the bodies is unhealthy, the river is a sacred river, yet they pollute it, that is the river’s revenge.

Ye loh Modernization agaye but ye log wahi hai Shame! Sara duniya dekh Rahe hai gadho Don't pollute the water please Let all cremate even if they don't have money🙏but please don't let them float in the water

2:52 this trending mask fashion in india is main reason of spreading coronavirus so fast ..

Thanks Asmita mam.

Get well soon India, salam from Indonesia, I wish I could do something

Maa Ganga, save us.

This is reality of digital India. Very shameful for us because we belong to this country.Still some people say Mera Bhart Mahan.

5:00 will anyone tell me the meaning of *"deegna"* ..? Does it mean burying tge body.?.

Yes... Sad our government has done nothing to help the poor citizens in need. I can understand that there is a lack of 🛌beds, lack of oxygen, and also lack of drugs💉💊 but no place or no wood to burn🔥 the departed.. That is wrong❌ please come forward to help.. Sad very sad system...

If the body floating like this how the people depending water from it can use that water will it not spread virus

Shameful that pandits are behaving like vultures and trying to fleece the poor during the pandemic.

Acche din aa gye..

Ganga is overflowing with bodies, because, we are overflowing with sins. Its our dush karam that have lead to this . These people voted for their personal greed, and not for compassion and welfare . 15 lach, free cylinder, free things . Not for communal harmony , education, social order.

About PM's house in Centra Vista Project, Mohan Guruswamy believes the new house has more to do with Mr Modi's ambition. "All real decision-making takes place in the PM's house. He has a staff of hundreds and they clear 300 files a day. "He has centralised power in his hands. He is creating a presidential form of government and he needs a bigger building - a White House or a Kremlin.". Mr Guruswamy says Indian prime ministers have always lived in "buildings at the back". But with his new home, Mr Modi wants to put himself in the centre of Delhi's power corridor.

This is not so important..... dead bodies of common people.... let government continur its research on toolkit, central vista, coronil, Gandhis etc.

Every problem has a solution and the solution is in the problem itself

You are doing good job reporting from ground Zero it's appreciated

Today I also saw 1 dead body floating near nainijor

But yogi said UP is ready to face 3rd wave & covid cases are very low despite increased testing

अगर सचमें लोगों के पास ३००० रुपए नहीं है तो यह बहुत मुश्किल समय है।

A failed system! Today the commoner is suffering!

If someone dies, one has to feed 10 villages.. But why? Usse fayada kya hua?marne wale ko kya milega

Disliking the video, only because the very essential things blurred.

Irshad and Prashad (Video editors) disliked your work.

Those who took the video and those who are spreading it through social media should be booked under law using. Should use UAPA if needed. Stop defaming UP sarkar. UP is the world's role model. Yogi Ji is World Leader. Yoji will conquer the world in 2030.

Tell me why only hindu bodies are found ...is it also scam to finish one kind

Why Quint is focussing on these topics. Lets focus on how to build 13000 crore pmo house and why pm criedA JAI HIND!

Floating bodies in river can destroy the lives of other , please dont do that.dont float the death bodies.

Ganga river was dirty from the first and now became the dirtiest river in the world.

Shouldn't Hindus be glad the bodies are in the Holy river. Its holy after all. What's all the fuss about now.

I wish the authorities, investigate ganga river under water....they might be more bodies with sand bag to sink it.

How could you bathe in a river knowing it's used for burial, is there any wonder the world is infected with disease.

Next year hindus will be back on drinking this water and bathing in it. hahaha

No fish can live in that river it's polluted of human ashes and dead bodies. It's gross

"Bechari Ganga"...

its very sad when people die but if you put many Gods next to the one true God the result will be bad. God is Great and he is one and only,and I am not talking about religion

Why can’t police clear the bodies also along with with that orange cloth

What will happen when it rains?

Instead of throwing the bodies why don't they create the bodies without priest God knows what is happening, they are illiterate.

Sads things to heard from India

River Ganga destroys its own pollutants. Is this exclusive to River Ganga or other rivers too? Bury those bodies on land.

Corona Sabse Zyada Maharashtra me Tha Laashe Par UP aur Ganga me Mil Rahi hain

kudos to the reporter !🙏🏻

Now it's best way to bury instead of floating bodies or burn those bodies.

best is to just buried it on land since india has large piece land, why not shift to to bury rather than cremating or worst left at sea...dear india gov, please please please open up ur land spaces for burial..
