New Delhi, Jan. 12 -- The Aam Aadmi Party on Monday accused the BJP-led government in Delhi of conducting a short-term, optics-driven clean-up of the Yamuna river during Chhath Puja, claiming that pollution levels surged again once the festival period ended.
AAP Delhi chief Saurabh Bharadwaj cited data from the Delhi Pollution Control Committee to support the allegations. He stated that faecal coliform levels near the ISBT bridge dropped from about 21,000 in early October to 8,000 by October 20, ahead of Chhath Puja, after water was released from Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
