Water security for Delhi: a case study of government projects

Is Delhi destroying its water security?

The Yamuna turns to a sewer in Delhi

Clearly STP’s are located near the Yamuna to release untreated waste

JNNURM Project converting the existing tributary of the Yamuna to a sewer

Delhi Jal Board Project funded by the JNNURM:Laying of Interceptor Sewer along Najafgarh, Supplementary and Shahdara Drain for Abatement of Pollution in River Yamuna

Is this project to carry the industrial effluents to the Yamuna too?

JNNURM Project is destroying Delhi’s water security

Where will safe water come from?

• Planning purposeless projects based on fraudulent data and premises

• Excluding the citizens and their participation

• Destroying the environment that they should protect

• Forgetting that they are the servants of the citizens and accountable to them

Bad Governance
