Who’s responsible for toxic froth, asks Delhi L-G Saxena

Lieutenant-Governor VK Saxena on Monday shared images of the toxic froth-covered surface of the Yamuna, questioning those responsible for keeping the river clean.

“Yamuna, which has been the lifeline of Delhi since time immemorial, becomes even more important during the great festival of Chhath. This condition of Yamuna, the pain of the people of Delhi cannot be seen,” his post on X read.

He questioned who is responsible for such a plight? “Who had claimed to clean the Yamuna and announced to take a dip in it? Who got the work of Yamuna revival started last year on the orders of NGT stopped by the court?” he added.

Meanwhile, the AAP said the BJP is stooping to desperate tactics, sharing outdated photos from 2015.

“The BJP knows that they can’t compete with AAP’s honest governance, and this dirty politics only exposes their insecurity and their underhanded attempts to sabotage Delhi’s progress,” the party said.
