JAMSHEDPUR: The postal department will make Gangajal available at various temples in three districts of Kolhan division of Jharkhand so that the devotees may offer it on Shivalinga on each Monday in the month of Shrawan.

Assistant postal superintendent of West Singhbhum, Awadh Bihari Singh told HT Gangajal will be available from July 25, the first Monday of the month.

He said, “The cost of each bottle containing 100 ml or 500 ml water is between `10 and `35.”
