Delhi Jal Board to Study 75 Polluting Drains in Yamuna

The Delhi Jal Board is going to study 75 drains that empty into the Yamuna river.

This is to understand how much water and pollution they're adding to the river.

The goal is to clean up the river and make it healthier again.

Right now, the part of the river that goes through Delhi is very dirty.

The study will also look at some big drains that come from other states.

The Delhi Jal Board can't treat all the sewage that the city makes, and a lot of it ends up in the river.

The government is trying to fix this by connecting more houses to sewage treatment systems and cleaning up the Najafgarh drain, which is one of the biggest sources of pollution in the river.
