💨 Abstract

A parliamentary committee report found that the Yamuna river's capacity to sustain life is almost non-existent in the Delhi stretch, as 23 out of 33 monitored sites, including six in Delhi, failed primary water quality standards. The report also highlighted concerns over encroachments, legacy sludge, lack of data on unauthorized industries, failure to maintain environmental flow, and pollution from cremation activities along the riverbanks.
