High Court of Delhi Observations of the Hon. HC, Delhi in the case WP (Civil ) No. 2112 / 2002 and WP ( C ) No. 689 / 2004 dated 08.12.2005 River Yamuna is lifeline for the citizens of Delhi right from its entry into Delhi till it leaves Delhi. The purity, sanctity and the cleanliness of its water has to be maintained. It is repeatedly claimed that the Government is doing its best and has already spent thousands of crores of rupees in the name of ‘Cleanse Yamuna’ Project. But the common man does not find any visible change. Encroachments on river beds and embankment have become order of the day. No effective steps have been taken to make Yamuna free from encroachments and pollution of all kinds.
