I was very happy to note that recently there were important meetings in India held at highest level and some movements of some groups to save Yamuna. What makes me wonder all these groups look towards some agencies for saving something ? if you are in front of a moving train will you apply to some agency to save ? Give some funds to save you from drowning ? Or if you are dying in Shara desert of heat and winds will you make proposal to be sent to some agencies and look for their grants to come to solve the problem . Save Ganga Project or save Yamuna project have consumed billions of rupees. What is the outcome. My submission is save yourself. Over 180 drains come in river yamuna in Delhi alone and on way to Mathura and Mathura itself . With increasing population of India one problem that has not been attended to is waste disposal . Solid waste and liquid waste, sewerage ? Billions of liters of factory waste is put into holy rivers in Kanpur , and throughout the entire country whereever the river flows. What kind of solutions you expect to come form UN or world bodies or Government funding if we dont stop our drainage system leading to rivers. Most of the towns on river banks are at some height and its natural that all drains of city will flow into rivers. It is actually happenning in almost all cities on river banks. Second most important pollutants are worshipers themselves. Huge amount of religious interactions and activities lead to tremendous amount of pollution. If each one of us takes vow to prevent flow of filthy water into rivers and prevent drains leading to rivers much of the problems will be solved. We have to start with ourselves.
