Puja material and other waste are causing pollution in the Binwa river in Baijnath.The Binwa river flowing beneath the historic Baijnath bridge in Kangra district is increasingly getting polluted due to the dumping of the waste material of so-called “tantrik rituals” and superstitious practices. Residents and environmentalists have expressed concern over the dumping of puja material and other waste into the river in the name of spiritual remedies and planetary peace. Every week, particularly on Tuesdays and Saturdays, people can be seen gathering on the bridge to perform rituals believed to ward off evil spirits, remove planetary defects and bring peace and prosperity. After completing these rituals, they throw lemons, coconuts, chillies, clothes, flowers, incense material and other items directly into the river.
