How to clean Yamuna? Delhi lieutenant governor VK Saxena seeks options from public

NEW DELHI: A day after he called upon Delhiites to send in their views on how to clear the legacy waste at the city’s three landfill sites, lieutenant governor V K Saxena on Saturday sought people’s suggestions for cleaning the Yamuna.

In a social media post, the LG said that due to the dumping of sewage in the river over the years, the Yamuna has turned into a drain. “By discharging 784 MGD sewage in Yamuna, we have converted our lifeline into a muck-filled drain. It’s time we treat all sewage generated and reuse rather than dump it into the holy river. Your suggestions and participation will be crucial to address this problem,” the LG said in a Twitter post.
