Title: Need to allocate adequate funds for undertaking the work of cleansing river Yamuna at Mathura, U.P.
KUNWAR MANVENDRA SINGH (MATHURA): Sir, Mathura is pilgrimage centre visited by lakhs of people from all over the country and abroad every year. All pilgrims go to Yamuna to have holy bath. But the condition of Yamuna river is so precarious that it is highly polluted and dead bodies often float there. People of Mathura and Vrindawan city get drinking water supply from Yamuna river. It is unhygienic and filthy. Moreover, there are no ghats along the Yamuna river in Mathura and Vrindawan as in Haridwar. The lives of people and cattle in Mathura region are in danger.
I urge upon the Government to allocate adequate funds for cleaning the river and constructing ghats along Yamuna river in Mathura and Vrindawan and adequate funds should be allotted for sewer system in Mathur and Vrindawan city.
