Forty years back, what was a blessing for people across 1200 villages, has now turned into a curse. ‘Kali Nadi’ (black river), which starts from the Antwara, a district in Muzaffarnagar and ends at Kannauj, is now known as a cause of cancer, skin disease, heart failure, infertility and many such more deadly medical conditions.
Sometime in the year 1960, a tributary of the Ganga was the only sources for day-to-day work. The 498 km long ‘Kali Nadi’ which passes through Muzaffarnagar, Meerut, Hapur, Khurja, Bulandshahr, Aligarh, Farrukhabad, Kasganj, till Kannauj, was the main source of water and used to cater to more than 1200 villages on both sides of the river.
