Union Water Resources Minister Uma Bharti today promised to work pro-actively to cleanse the river Yamuna.
"I had a meeting with Delhi Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung and discussed cleaning of Yamuna river which is flowing through the national capital. A wing has been set up with DDA for the purpose. The officials of the wing will meet us ( Ministry of Water Resources) for sorting out issues concerned," she said.
Extending full cooperation to the Government of NCT Delhi in making Yamuna pollution free, she said that a meeting for this purpose would be held in a couple of days. The Water Resources Ministry had already constituted a separate committee for cleansing the river in Delhi.
Bharti also announced that 2015-16 would be observed as the year of 'Water Conservation.'
"We have planned to announce 2015-16 as the year of water conservation... We are ready to interlink rivers keeping environment in mind and we can do it in 10 years," the minister said.
