Yamuna Cleaning

Two failures later, a third plan to clean the Yamuna - Hindustan Times

As per the news on Hindustantimes.com it seems that a large chunk of public money will be wasted again because until or unless we the citizens of this country start living disciplined life all efforts will be useless. Did central government and state governments have any answer that why the last two attempts failed and who is responsible for it.

The cleaning of Yamuna is the responsibility of everyone because we know that whenever we exploit too much of nature / environment effects and reactions are very big. The latest example of Japan is in front of everyone.

If Yamuna disappeared in coming decades it will be big loss for all cities lying on its bank whether Delhi, Faridabad, Agra, Sonepat etc.

PLEASE SAVE ENVIRONMENT AND SAVE MOTHER EARTH.

Is Delhi Ready for Games

Commonwealth games are near and the question which is striking everyone mind is that will Delhi host these games successfully or the government will release formal clarifications and complain about non co-operation by some government/private agencies/individuals and at last the citizens but that will malign only the image on Nation on international scenario.

The stadium are not ready, Games village readyness is much behind schedule till now and conditions of other infrastructure projects are fully known to everyone. The bridges, roads and pathways for pedestrian, cyclist are still under process and the rain in last weeks have totally proven the fictitious claim of government that DELHI IS READY and will successfully host the games. Water Logging, Traffic Jams are the main news headlines on every news channel. Removal of Debris is still not started from the various construction site because all projects are running behind the schedule.

Level of pollution are not going down, Yamuna is still not cleaned. Metro will be able to complete its target under strict quality checks or not?

DO YOU THINK THAT THERE IS SOME WAY TO SAVE NATIONAL PRESTIGE?

Ganga & Yamuna

The Ganges in Varanasi

Image via Wikipedia

Ganga & Jamuna are famous rivers of India. As per hindu methodology they are treated as Mothers. Bbut currently all the rivers are too much polluted and on verge of disappearance.

Ganga

Ganga is so much polluted due to Inorganic and toxic effluents discharged by industries, cremation of human bodies on banks of rivers and practice of throwing dead bodies, flowers and other articles into river makes it dirty.

The cleanliness drive / plans for river by government has failed. For Ganga river the Ganga Action Plan had been started in 1986 but according to some sources it 39 percent of primary target is reached. Ganga passes through approximately 29 cities and 70 towns and every city and town throw its waste in river while it is industry waste, garbage, sewerage, or any other thing.

Yamuna / Jamuna

Yamuna is currently on verge of disappearance because of extensive flow of industrial waste, sewage, dumping of other waste of cities. The most dangerous threating area for Yamuna starts from Delhi. In previous decades sewage of city is used for agricultural land but as all agriculture land has been occupied for residential purpose so the sewage flows into Yamuna.

As the river drifted into Faridabad its burden of sewage and industrial waste kept on increasing and the spectacular failure of the Yamuna Action Plan began to unfold. Although court had directed the government for cleanness of Yamuna and Yamuna Action Plan had been launched but it is not showing any result and no one is monitoring it. Crores of rupees has been spent in the name of Yamuna cleaning but results are zero.
