Although water samples are taken from the Sabarmati river every week by AMC's water supply department, no coronavirus was found in their testing.

Samples were taken at the time of the first wave

In an exclusive interview with Zee 24 Hour, Manish Kumar said that coronavirus was found in the Sabarmati river, Kankaria, and Chandola lakes. These are the results of research up to December during the first wave of corona in the state. No research has been done on the second wave since December. Which needs to be researched. Not just Gujarat. Similar corona has been found in water in other states as well. The report has been sent to the Pollution Control Board of the state government.
