Recently, villages situated on the banks of the Ghaggar river in Haryana are witnessing a rise in cancer cases, which is reportedly being attributed to polluted river water.
About Ghaggar River:

Origin: It originates in the village of Dagshai in the Shivalik Hills of Himachal Pradesh.
The river is known as Ghaggar before the Ottu barrage and as the Hakra downstream of the barrage.
