Sadhus from several ashrams refused to take a holy bath in Ganga on the occasion of Vijayadashmi near Shukertal area here on Saturday apparently after finding the water to be polluted.
Several sadhus alleged that the river water had turned black due to the discharge of waste by factories.
Sub Divisional Magistrate (Jansath) Shyavadh Chouhan said he had asked for a sample of the polluted water to initiate action.
