In the 1950s, London’s Thames River was declared a dead river due to extreme pollution. Decades later, determined government action transformed it into one of the cleanest and most beautiful rivers in the world. Paris followed a similar path with the Seine, investing heavily in underground sewage systems, strict regulations, and long-term planning—especially ahead of the Olympics. Today, the Seine stands as a symbol of successful urban river restoration.
But what happens when we bring this comparison back to India?
This ground report takes you to the banks of the Yamuna in Delhi—once a lifeline, now reduced to what locals describe as an open drain. Originating from Yamunotri and flowing through multiple states, the Yamuna reaches Delhi only to turn toxic due to untreated sewage, industrial waste, and years of administrative failure. Despite multiple governments, massive budgets, ambitious projects like Namami Gange, and repeated promises, the condition of the river remains unchanged.
Through on-ground visuals and conversations with priests, fishermen, and residents who have lived here for decades, this report exposes the harsh reality behind televised claims of “clean Yamuna.” From temporary water-filled pits during Chhath Puja to the use of chemicals to hide toxic foam, the clean-up often appears more performative than real.
Fishermen speak of dying fish, lost livelihoods, and worsening pollution over the last ten years. This video questions not just governance, but also media narratives that mask the truth.
If you want to see the real condition of the Yamuna beyond political claims, this report brings you that unfiltered reality.
