SC set up monitoring panel to clean Yamuna - NewsX

After 18 years of monitoring efforts to reduce pollution in the Yamuna, the Supreme Court has constituted a 2-member expert committee to examine and report to the court on what had been achieved on the ground regarding reducing pollution in the river. The court asked the expert panel to submit its interim report by November 9 and asked it to examine how many drains in Delhi discharge waste into the river.
