NGT Reserves Order on Declining Yamuna Biodiversity

NGT Reserves Order on Declining Yamuna Biodiversity

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) is deciding on a case about the Yamuna river.

Scientists found that many native fish species are disappearing, while foreign fish are taking over.

The river is very polluted, especially in Delhi, which makes it hard for fish to live.

The NGT is not happy with how the authorities are handling the problem.

They want better rules to protect the river and its fish.

Scientists suggest stopping illegal fishing, banning the release of foreign fish, and reducing pollution to help the river.
