Delhi Government to Pilot In-Situ Nanotechnology Cleaning for Major Drains

The Delhi government plans to launch a pilot project using in-situ nanotechnology to clean five major drains, including the Defence Colony drain, as part of efforts to improve Yamuna river water quality. The Delhi Jal Board's 45-point action plan also includes constructing decentralized sewage treatment plants (DSTPs) where space limits large-scale plants. With 22 major drains flowing into the Yamuna, the initiative targets pollution reduction, especially in the highly contaminated 22-km stretch from Wazirabad to Okhla.
