Delhi Government Plans Redesign of Kalindi Kunj Barrage to Address Yamuna Froth

The Delhi government is developing a long-term plan to address white froth formation in the Yamuna River at the Kalindi Kunj barrage. Officials, including Water Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh and IIT-Roorkee experts, are studying whether redesigning the barrage slope can reduce froth caused by surfactant-laden effluents from nearby dhobi ghats and cloth-dyeing units. Plans include relocating these units, stricter pollution monitoring, and constructing a new Chhath Ghat with support from the UP Irrigation Department, estimated at Rs 100 crore.
