So egregious were the delays that the tribunal suggested an unusual remedy: erect a public notice on the banks of the river warning devotees that the Ganga's water is no longer suitable for bathing. "Just put up a sign," quipped Justice Arun Kumar Tyagi, "make it clear the Ganga here isn't for a holy splash."
