Trials in Yamuna for navigability of river
Hindustan Times|June 25, 2023
The Indian Navy on Saturday carried out a navigability assessment of the Yamuna in Delhi by taking the “work boat” it recently brought from Kochi in Kerala, officials from the lieutenant governor (LG) secretariat said. The assessment covered an 11-km distance from Signature Bridge to the ITO barrage, officials added.
Trials in Yamuna for navigability of river
NEW DELHI: An official said that such trials were planned earlier as well but could not be done due to issues like lack of required depth, floating debris in the water, and the unhygienic bank conditions in the Yamuna.

“The boat was brought to Delhi by the Naval authorities after an initiative by the LG who has been actively monitoring the rejuvenation of Yamuna as the chairman of the NGT-appointed high-level committee,” the official said.
