Yamuna river

BJP leaders said hundreds of tonnes of waste were removed from the riverbanks, while Swati Maliwal accused the previous Kejriwal government of ignoring the Yamuna and reducing it to a sewage drain for years.

More than 500 NGOs, religious, educational, and voluntary organisations are set to participate in the campaign. The Delhi government described the Yamuna Cleanliness Campaign as a way to bolster public participation in environmental conservation and river cleaning initiatives.

In a Delhi govt major push to reduce pollution flowing into Yamuna, a ₹860-crore project will establish 12 decentralised sewage plants along the Najafgarh drain.
