In a significant move reflecting deep concern for the environment and the well-being of Delhi’s residents, Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a high-level meeting focused on the cleaning and rejuvenation of the Yamuna River, along with tackling the pressing issues surrounding the city’s drinking water supply. The meeting, held yesterday, emphasized the urgent need for sustainable solutions to improve the quality of life for the people of the capital.
Taking to social media platform X, he wrote, “Yesterday, chaired a meeting on cleaning and rejuvenating the Yamuna as well as addressing drinking water related issues of Delhi. Centre will work closely with the Delhi Government to ensure world class infrastructure and ‘Ease of Living’ for my sisters and brothers of Delhi.”
The Yamuna, a lifeline for millions, has suffered years of neglect and pollution. The renewed focus by the country’s top leadership brings a ray of hope to those who depend on it—not just as a water source, but as a symbol of cultural and spiritual significance. The move also comes as a reminder that addressing environmental and civic challenges with compassion and unity is the need of the hour.
This development signals a step forward in restoring the dignity of one of India’s most sacred rivers, while ensuring that the people of Delhi can look forward to a cleaner, healthier future.
