देखो भाजपा.. और शर्म से डूब मरो 😡

क्या बहाना है तुम्हारा पास? यमुना को साफ करने के बड़े-बड़े वादे कर दिए लेकिन कोई ठोस कदम नहीं उठाया।

आज इंसान क्या गौमाता भी दूषित यमुना से परेशान हैं। कम से कम गौमाता की ये तकलीफ देखकर ही कुछ तो प्रयास करो यमुना को साफ करने का। pic.twitter.com/ocrjoVKaz3

AAP’s post stresses the need for immediate, visible measures such as:

• Comprehensive sewage treatment and industrial waste management

• Regular river cleanup drives

• Strict enforcement of environmental regulations

Public Health and Environmental Concerns

Environmentalists have repeatedly highlighted that the Yamuna’s water in Delhi is unsafe for domestic or agricultural use. Rising pollution levels have created a public health emergency, increasing the risk of waterborne diseases and impacting both humans and wildlife.

AAP leaders argue that accountability and transparency are essential, urging the BJP government to deliver on its commitments and stop neglecting the river that is vital to Delhi’s ecosystem
