Delhi Launches 'Chalo Yamuna' Cleanliness Drive Amid Pollution Concerns

Gupta urged citizens to avoid dumping religious offerings and plastic waste, emphasizing public participation alongside government efforts like sewage treatment plants. Opposition leaders criticized the campaign as symbolic, citing ongoing pollution from untreated sewage and slow progress on infrastructure projects. The drive highlighted both community involvement and concerns over the river's persistent pollution challenges.
