New Delhi. As part of the special Yamuna cleaning campaign being run by the Delhi government, a massive cleaning program was organized at ITO Ghat on Sunday. The Chief Minister, all cabinet members, BJP workers and people associated with environment protection participated in this campaign. Delhi’s PWD Minister Pravesh Verma, former BJP state president Virendra Sachdeva also participated in the campaign and gave the message of making people aware by cleaning the Yamuna banks themselves. On this occasion, Pravesh Verma said that making Yamuna clean and clear is one of the top priorities of the Delhi government. He said, “Cleaning the Yamuna has been one of the major agendas of our government and we are continuously working in this direction. No stone will be left unturned in making the Yamuna clean.” He also appealed to the people of Delhi to cooperate in this campaign and said that keeping Yamuna clean is not only the responsibility of the government but public participation is also necessary in this. If everyone shows awareness and contributes to prevent the Yamuna river from getting polluted, then the goal of keeping the Yamuna clean can be achieved soon.

He expressed confidence that with the efforts of the government and the cooperation of the public, the goal of making Yamuna clean and pure will definitely be achieved.
Taking aim at the previous governments, Pravesh Verma said that the previous governments did not pay enough attention to the cleanliness of Yamuna, due to which the condition of the river continued to deteriorate. Now the government has changed and the new government is working seriously for the revival of Yamuna.
He said, “We are confident that Yamuna will definitely be cleaned and the people of Delhi will get to see a clean river.” Virendra Sachdeva said that the government is serious about the issue of Yamuna from the beginning and continuous efforts are being made for the cleaning and conservation of the river. He said that the government will leave no stone unturned to make Yamuna clean and pure.
