  • The Delhi Pollution Control Committee failed to present the reports of river quality data for August, September, and October 2023.

  • Reports from the 7th high-level committee meeting on the Yamuna River indicate significant improvements in BOD, COD, and annual fecal coliform levels, in contrast to the previous year. 

  • The latest report for September reveals a lack of dissolved oxygen in the river. 

  • The committee suggests various measures to improve water quality, which include: 1) sewage treatment,  2) trapping drains,  3) sewerage networks in unauthorized colonies, 4) industrial effluent management, 5) fecal sludge treatment, 6) floodplain control, and  7) Repurpose of treated wastewater
