Govt. constitutes Yamuna Cleaning Cell to overcome complex network of multiple agencies
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday approved the formation of the Yamuna Cleaning Cell, terming the cleaning of the river a “top priority”. The cell will expedite the Delhi Government projects on cleaning the river and overcome any administrative hurdles, he said.
Mr. Kejriwal had recently announced that the Government would clean the Yamuna by February 2025.

Nagendra in the Cabinet persisted, with the demand for his resignation raised by the BJP in connection with the ₹94 crore scam at the Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation, his Cabinet colleagues came to his defence on Thursday.
