DJB to fund 30 per cent cost of Maily Se Nirmal Yamuna Revitalisation Project

The Delhi Jal Board will fund 30 per cent of the cost for the Maily Se Nirmal Yamuna Revitalisation Project for cleaning and rejuvenating the Yamuna river, with the centre bearing the remaining 70 per cent of the cost. Under the project, work on only five out of the 14 planned sewage treatment plants (STPs) has begun. For another two STPs, land survey has begun and the paperwork to hand over the land is under way. The delay was mainly due to non-cooperation between various stakeholders including the Delhi government, local authorities and the National Mission for Clean Ganga
