Closed Help Assist in Rejuvenating the Sacred Holy Yamuna River

Closed on

Yamuna River (India), is worshipped by millions of devotees all around the world through pious banks of Vrindavan, Mathura and Gokul. The river has many spiritual significance to all. This very river is polluted with toxic industrial and domestic waste from Delhi and other drains.

United Nation has declared the Yamuna River dead. There is no fresh flow, flowing through whole stretch. Devotees are forced to take a sip, bath and perform religious activities in these toxic polluted waters. We urge the UK Government to assist the Indian Government to treat their Industrial and Domestic waste and not to pour treated or untreated waste water into Yamuna River. Furthermore ensure adequate natural flow of fresh water throughout the stretch,which starts from Yamunotri to Allahabad
