A delegation including actor Arun Govil, Gajendra Chauhan Bhai, Mandeep Nagpal, Sushil Verma, Visha Raman Nirmal handed over a memorandum to the President and Prime Minister.
The participants of the march were angry with the apathy of the state and the central governments towards purification of the Yamuna. The devotees displayed their anger through placards. The demonstrators warned that if the government does not take appropriate measures to address the issue, millions of devotees will take to the streets.
Addressing the gathering, Arun Govil said, “It is very unfortunate and a matter of concern that despite declaration of Yamuna Action Plan by the central and the state governments, the water of Yamuna is not potable even today. Industrial affluent and sewerage water is flowing into the Yamuna unabated.”
