Citing administrative issues relating to the implementation of the order, the Centre has moved the Supreme Court over the Uttarakhand High Court judgement to accord the status of a living human entity to the Ganga river.<br/><br/>Uttarakhand minister and state government spokesperson Madan Kaushik cited the High Court order of 20th March which stated that the Chief Secretary and the Advocate General would act as the legal parents of the Ganga and Yamuna rivers. <br/><br/>He said, since the matter of cleaning the Ganga is not just restricted to Uttarakhand, the state Chief Secretary and the Advocate General cannot tackle all the issues related to it. Mr. Kaushik said for this reason the Central government has approached the apex court on this matter and the state government is also a party to the petition.
