Kolkata, May 13 : After large number of bodies were fished out of Ganga in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, the West Bengal government asked Malda district administration to step up vigil along the river for bodies found floating downstream and cremate them in keeping with protocol.
Ganga enters West Bengal through Malda and so surveillance has been increased in the district to restrict the bodies from entering the state.
According to senior government officials, Ganga touches the state at Manikchawk block via Rajmahal in Jharkhand and so measures have been taken to stop the floating bodies near Manikchawk so that it doesn t reach Farakka barrage.
