People just need to benefit from it," Bharti added.Speaking on Ganga rejuvenation, Bharti stated that the government's efforts are finally visible on the ground level."The work on sewage treatment plants in Haridwar and Rishikesh is almost complete. Our government's initiatives for rejuvenation of Ganga river are finally visible on the ground," Bharti said.( With inputs from ANI )
