_*A little scientific note on the Gaanga Jal.... During my service at the KEM hospital*....
_*I was ASSOCIATED with the Late Dr.S.R. Kamath a very RENOWNED Chest Specialist.....*_

3. On the other side of the shore
4. From the MIDDLE and
5. Most important from where maximum people were taking a dip...
_One set of 5 bottles I took to my lab for Bacteriological studies and another set was sent to Haffkines for counter check for Bacteriology and for Virology...._
*The results were shocking*....
*NONE OF MY 5 SAMPLES GREW ANY BACTERIA....*
*THE 5 SAMPLES SENT TO HAFFKINES ALSO SHOWED NO BACTERIA*
_BUT THE SAMPLES HAD A VERY HIGH CONCENTRATION OF BACTERIOPHAGES.....*_
What are Bacteriophages....
_*They are viruses which feed on bacteria.....*_
