The Delhi government has begun a drone survey of smaller drains that discharge untreated waste into larger drainage systems as part of its efforts to clean the Yamuna, Water Minister Parvesh Verma said on Tuesday.
NEW DELHI:
The city has 22 big drains, including the biggest Najafgarh drain, the Shahdara drain and the Supplementary drain, which empties into the Yamuna.
Verma informed reporters that there are around 300 sub-drains that end up in these large drains, adding to the overall pollution load.
"We are doing drone surveys of all the sub-drains that are adding waste to larger drains. It is important for us to know the origin, entire map and outflow of each of these drains for a comprehensive policy," he said.
