The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) is set to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to address the issue of dairy waste contaminating the Yamuna River. This initiative will transform waste from local dairy farms into biogas and fertilizer, significantly reducing pollution in the river. The decision follows a meeting chaired by Home Minister Amit Shah, which included key officials from various ministries and the Delhi government. Participants stressed the need for a cohesive approach among the governments of Delhi, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh to implement an integrated action plan for the river's cleanliness. The NDDB's model involves transporting dung from dairy farms directly to biogas and fertilizer plants, thereby preventing waste from entering the river through drains. Additionally, the meeting highlighted the need for expedited desilting of the Yamuna, with plans to utilize the extracted silt in manufacturing to prevent it from washing back into the river during monsoon season. Authorities will also closely monitor discharges from sewage treatment plants and industrial sources to ensure effective pollution control. Progress on the rejuvenation project will be reviewed every 20 days to maintain accountability and effectiveness.
