Now, the proposal has been submitted to the National Directorate of River Protection.

The Indrayani River hosts important pilgrimage sites like Dehu and Alandi, making its preservation and enhancement crucial for both religious and environmental reasons. Over the years, the river has suffered due to the discharge of domestic and industrial sewage, as well as sludge, necessitating urgent action to restore its health and purity.
