While under the Namami Gange Program, the focus was on the main stem of the Ganga Basin, and the positive results are now showing, Shri Kumar said.
The target now is to clean River Yamuna and ensure that three large STPs being constructed are completed by December 2022 with the support of stakeholders, preventing all the major drains and dirty water from falling into Yamuna.
He went on to say that by next year, the Yamuna should be significantly cleaner for Delhi residents.
