New Delhi: Delhi Lieutenant Governor (L-G) V.K. Saxena and Chief Minister Rekha Gupta conducted a joint inspection of the Wazirabad Pollution Control Center on Thursday as part of the city government’s intensified efforts to clean the Yamuna River. The visit marked a significant step in ongoing initiatives to improve the health of the Yamuna and transform its surrounding areas.

The inspection centered on plans to treat wastewater at the crucial junction where the Wazirabad and Najafgarh drains converge before merging with the Yamuna. This site, one of the main contributors to pollution in the river, will undergo treatment to ensure that only clean water enters the river. The leaders also explored future plans to revamp the area into a scenic riverfront, aimed at attracting tourists and creating a vibrant public space.

During the inspection, CM Rekha Gupta and L-G Saxena were briefed by Minister Pravesh Verma and senior officials about ongoing work at the Pollution Control Center. The site, which processes water from the Wazirabad drain, will be enhanced with a walking track and recreational facilities, with plans to intercept wastewater 3 to 4 kilometers upstream to ensure better treatment.

The vision for the area is to create a lively riverfront that includes space for morning and evening walks, promotes local tourism, and contributes to beautification efforts that align with the natural environment. Officials noted that such changes would not only benefit Delhi residents but would also contribute to the ecological health of the area, reducing pollution levels in the Yamuna.

The move to clean the Yamuna was a major point of discussion during the Delhi Assembly elections, with political parties scrutinizing each other’s promises related to pollution control, encroachments, and flood management. The BJP, in particular, criticized the AAP for failing to address the issue of Yamuna pollution.
