Yamuna instead of a river is just a Naala (dirty water drain) in Delhi. I have read about many news over the years on the efforts to clean the Yamuna but don't see any improvements. Yamuna action plan was made by the government to clean the yamuna. What has come out of this plan is still unknown to me. Recently the MCD commented that yamuna cant be cleaned because of so many slum clusters along the yamuna bed and they let all the untreated waste go in the yamuna..I wonder what prevents the MCD from razing those slums??
The dam at kalindi kunj has so many pretty birds in spring, i just wish that Yamuna can be enthused with life again and we get the holy river back with clean water. The government can probably use the yamuna basin to create recreational parks and all and the money generated from there can be used to clean Yamuna..i feel something can be worked out but the willingness and determination of the government is lacking...

This is my view on what is holding back Delhi from the becoming a glorious capital of world standards. And i would try and focus and highlight on any positives as and when i see any..
