Green Experts Plan ‘Jai Satyagraha’ to Save Yamuna
'The problem of the Yamuna dying and the various construction activities on the river bed are further adding to the river's woes. It is an issue everyone should take up,' said Manoj Misra of the Yamuna Jiye Abhiyan (Save the Yamuna), a campaign to save the river.
'Till now our voices have not been heard enough but now we plan to get the masses involved so that the issue gets highlighted,' he said.
A group of environmentalists, civil society workers and concerned citizens are getting together to launch the Jal Satyagraha in August - the month when the country celebrates its 60th independence.
Campaigns, distribution of pamphlets and using different media to get the issue to the common man are part of the satyagraha's agenda.
In a meeting organised by the group and spearheaded by Misra at the Gandhi Peace Foundation here Monday, one of the main issues the group discussed was the site of the 2010 Commonwealth Games Village. It is proposed on the flood plain of the river near the Akshardham temple in East Delhi and has been criticised as being extremely harmful to the already vulnerable Yamuna.
