Imagine a big water channel in Delhi called the Munak Canal, which is full of trash!
The government plans to hire someone to clean it up.
The cleaning will take about two and a half months and cost a lot of money.

The government also wants to build a road above the canal with parks and walkways, connecting two areas of the city.
