Budget repeats previous measures but fails to introduce new approaches, say experts
DESPITE the government announcing several key initiatives aimed at rejuvenating the Yamuna River in the latest budget, experts have expressed doubts about the effectiveness of the proposals. Chief among the concerns are the absence of any deadlines for the projects and the lack of vision regarding the alternative usage of sewage water.
Tuesday's budget outlined the setting up of 40 decentralized STPs at a cost of ₹500 crore. These plants will treat wastewater before it enters the main drainage system, reducing pollution levels in the Yamuna. Additionally, ₹250 crore has been allocated for a drain-tapping project that will divert and treat wastewater from major drains, ensuring that untreated sewage does not flow directly into the river.
