It cannot be solved in a few days. I will not pass the buck to other states. It is my responsibility to clean the Yamuna and I will do it.” Kejriwal and his earth-shattering concepts to fight the poisonous foamReportedly, after photos of Chhath devotees stranded within the poisonous water with poisonous foam round went viral, Kejriwal government-appointed males with hose pipes to scrub the river. The solely believable rationalization of the stupidity might be attributed to Kejriwal wanting the swimming foams to quiet down in order that he may quick-fix the issue and keep away from dangerous press.  #WATCH | “We are sprinkling water in the Yamuna to dissipate toxic foam,” says Ashok Kumar, Delhi Jal Board worker pic.twitter.com/4waL2VsM7T— ANI (@ANI) November 10, 2021Furthermore, the Delhi authorities deployed 15 boats to take away the poisonous foam with the assistance of ropes whereas barricades had been additionally put as much as supposedly cease the ‘foam’ from floating into the world the place devotees had been praying.  #WATCH | Barricades being positioned within the Yamuna to cease poisonous foam from floating in direction of the ghat.

For its personal failure, poor people are being handled as criminals. I do not need them or anybody to step into the nallah that Yamuna has turn into immediately, however is that this the way you deal with devotees on day of their most imp competition? https://t.co/z2gRffee5y— Swati Goel Sharma (@swati_gs) November 10, 2021Read More: Arvind Kejriwal has appointed males with hose pipes to scrub the YamunaAAP authorities’s incapacity to deal with the sewage waterThe air pollution of the river Yamuna might be ascertained by the truth that a report of Central Pollution Central Board as revealed in 2016 revealed the negligible presence of dissolved oxygen (which is critical for aquatic animals). A standard degree of DO [dissolved oxygen] is taken into account to be 10.8, whereas the precise DO as accessed from Wazirabad and Okhla was simply 1.1. To improve the DO ranges, it’s no rocket science that sewage water flowing into the river must be handled. However, the AAP authorities has spectacularly bombed on that entrance as effectively.  Reportedly, Delhi Pollution Control Committee in its report ready a month again remarked that Delhi produces 720 MGD (million gallons per day) of sewage water every day. The AAP authorities claims that by way of its 34 Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs), it has a collective capability of treating 577 MGD waste every day. However, the report argues that of the 577 MGD, solely 511 MGD is handled by the AAP authorities. Thus, cumulatively, 206 MGD of waste out of a complete of 720 MGD of waste falls flush into the holy river, making it filthier by the day.  Akin to its celebration chief’s means to boast falsely, the Delhi authorities had informed the monitoring committee that its STPs would be capable of deal with 99 per cent of waste by June 2019, however greater than two years have handed and nothing has been achieved on the bottom.   The Yamuna is in dire straits but when Sabarmati in Gujarat might be dropped at its outdated glory, the ghats on the Ganges cleaned in a spick and span manner- what’s stopping the Kejriwal authorities from doing the identical. Instead of fooling the general public by way of empty rhetoric, Kejriwal and his coterie of IIT ministers ought to put their heads down and get right down to precise work.
