HC criticises Delhi govt for Yamuna pollution, drain desilting negligence

The high court here on Tuesday asked the Delhi chief secretary to step in and take administrative action against erring officials responsible for not desilting drains in the city that led to waterlogging, instead of presenting a "rosy picture" before the court.

The court also pulled up the Delhi government for its failure to regulate the emission of sewage and industrial waste in the Yamuna River, stating that its Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) were not working according to capacity and something was "drastically wrong" with them. The court said that the Yamuna is clean till Delhi and then it gets highly polluted.

"Something is drastically wrong. STPs are not working. Who is monitoring them? Yamuna is coming clean till Delhi then it gets highly polluted at ITO and Kashmiri Gate, ISBT. This is due to the industrial waste.
