The Delhi Government will organise the ‘Maa Yamuna Riverbank Cleanliness Drive’ across 28 ghats of the river on Sunday, officials said.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta will lead the cleanliness drive at Thokar No. 14, Geeta Colony Ghat, where she will join thousands of citizens in voluntary service.
Ministers of the Delhi Government and other dignitaries will also participate in the campaign.
This campaign will be conducted at Yamuna ghats from 6 am omwards.
Gupta said the Yamuna is not merely a river but a cultural, religious and environmental heritage of Delhi.
“The protection and cleanliness of the Yamuna are not only the responsibility of the government but also the duty of every citizen. The campaign is being organised with the objective of taking this message to the people and encouraging collective participation,” she said.
Around 500 social, religious, educational and voluntary organisations, are likely to participate in Sunday’s event.
