Najafgarh drain may soon be renamed the 'Sahibi river', with the city government submitting a fresh proposal to the State Names Authority (SNA) under the urban development department.

NEW DELHI:

The move is part of efforts to raise awareness about the historical river, which once flowed along the same path that is now occupied by the drain.

The Sahibi originates in Rajasthan, flows through Haryana, and enters Delhi before merging with Yamuna. Within Delhi, its course is currently known as the Najafgarh drain.

As part of a recent submission to the National Green Tribunal (NGT), the Delhi government attached digitised survey maps from 1975-76 showing the Sahibi river's original course through the Capital, now channelled as a stormwater drain.
