Rs 6,856 Crore Spent On Yamuna Cleanup, Yet Pollution Persists

Despite spending Rs 6,856 crore on cleaning the Yamuna from 2017-22, the river remains heavily polluted. Agencies blame each other for inaction, with Delhi contributing 80% of the river’s contamination, despite only 2% of its length flowing through the city. Experts highlight ineffective treatment plants and the Najafgarh drain as key pollution sources.
