Frothing in Yamuna: Delhi Govt Prepares Nine-point Plan to Prevent Discharge of Untreated Wastewater

News 18  

The Delhi government has prepared a nine-point action plan to prevent frothing in the Yamuna due to the discharge of untreated sewage in the river. The plan, approved by the Delhi Pollution Control Committee, lays down targets to be achieved by various agencies, including the Delhi Jal Board, Delhi Development Authority and municipal corporations, to prevent the discharge of untreated wastewater in the river. According to the plan, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh have been asked to upgrade their sewage treatment plants to standards prescribed by the DPCC for treating the wastewater entering the Yamuna through Najafgarh drain and Hindon cut canal. The major sources of phosphates and surfactants is the untreated sewage from unauthorized colonies without a functional sewer system and the wastewater coming into the Yamuna from Haryana and UP, it said.
