Delhi govt mulls forming Yamuna task force to prevent encroachment, dumping at river's floodplains
Delhi government is mulling over formation of a Yamuna task force in collaboration with the Territorial Army to prevent encroachments on flood plains of the river, dumping of debris and waste and other illegal activities. PWD and Water Minister Parvesh Verma said he discussed the issue with the Territorial Army.
The specialised task force will be dedicated to protect the Yamuna floodplains, prevent encroachments, stop illegal dumping of debris and waste, and ensuring strict enforcement of environmental regulations, he said.
«Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the double-engine government of the BJP, we are committed to restoring the Yamuna and protecting its floodplains. For years, illegal encroachments and waste dumping have choked the Yamuna,» Verma said.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta will also have a formal communication with the Territorial Army in this regard, he said.
The minister further said the Delhi government will fully fund the deployment of the task force that will be responsible for regular patrolling, preventing unauthorised construction, and ensuring that waste and construction debris are not dumped along the riverbanks.
