Ghaziabad, Sept. 6 -- The Ghaziabad district administration has formed a 'working committee of experts' for the rejuvenation, revival, and preservation of the river Hindon. The officials said that the committee comprises 22 different departments and experts tasked with carrying out agendas related to the river. Originating in Saharanpur, the Hindon River flows through Muzaffarnagar and Ghaziabad before meeting the Yamuna near Momnathal in Gautam Buddh Nagar. The plan focuses on key priorities, including 100% tapping of untapped drains falling into the river; clear demarcation of flood plains and removal of encroachment; desilting of the river, among others. "Each department will soon share their specific timelines for completing the tasks assigned to them," said Ankit Kumar, regional officer of the UP pollution control board. Sushil Raghav, a city-based environmentalist said despite action plans, the river continues to face pollution. "The number of drains falling untreated in the river are yet to be tapped or chanellised. Further, an integrated approach in all the districts is required for any rejuvenation plan to succeed," he added....
