9. This plain is very important for the economic development of India. The land being even, the transportation and communication is easy. This plain has a network of railways and roads. Some important industries like iron and steel, jute, cement, sugar and textile are spread evenly over the whole region. The Ganga is our most sacred river. Its water is regarded as holy, but this holy water is getting polluted. Waste of many cities and industries located along its banks is making the water polluted. The water is no more fit for drinking. The government has made up a plan known as the Ganga Action Plan to clean the water from this pollution. Some laws have been made to prohibit the throwing of wastes into the rivers. We should try to keep its water clean. USES OF NORTHERN PLAINS
