FOUL FLOWS THE YAMUNA: HOW TO CLEAN THE DYING RIVER

The Yamuna, once a silent witness to the love story of Radha and Krishna, now struggles under the weight of urban neglect. In Delhi, it has become synonymous with pollution and filth. Restoring the river is no easy task, but the Delhi government has set an ambitious goal of cleaning it within three years. Whether the Yamuna can be revived from a glorified drain into the sacred river that shaped history remains to be seen.

WHEN THE DIVINE TURNS DARK YAMUNA

HOLY AND HISTORICAL, THE YAMUNA TODAY IS AS MUCH POLITICAL. ITS MURKY WATERS HAVE SUNK ONE PARTY'S ELECTORAL FORTUNES IN DELHI, WHEREAS THE PROMISE OF CLEANING IT UP IN THREE YEARS HAS PROPELLED ANOTHER TO POWER. BUT REVIVING A RIVER CHOKED UNDER URBAN PLIGHT IS EASIER SAID THAN DONE
