With no cleaning work, river Yamuna continues to remain dry even after monsoon rains

India TV News  

Even after a fortnight of monsoon rains, river Yamuna in Agra continues to remain dry, with heaps of polluted garbage providing breeding grounds for mosquitoes and bacteria. Just before the April 18 polling in Agra, Bhartiya Janata Party President Amit Shah had categorically assured that the first task of the elected government would be cleaning of the Yamuna and a barrage to hold back water behind the Taj Mahal. What is flowing down in Yamuna is waste, untreated water, sewer, industrial effluents, highly toxic and full of pollutants, from upstream cities including Delhi," commented environmentalist Devashish Bhattacharya. While the Gangajal pipeline may have solved the drinking water problem for the time being, the bigger question about dredging, desilting and cleaning of the river Yamuna considered vital for the historical monuments, remains unanswered.
