'Urban River Management Plan' launched to clean Yamuna in Delhi

New Delhi | An Urban River Management Plan, or URMP, has been launched to clean and rejuvenate the Yamuna River in the national capital.

The plan is an initiative of the National Mission for Clean Ganga, launched in collaboration with the National Institute of Urban Affairs and the Delhi government.

The NMCG Director General Rajeev Kumar Mital stressed that the URMP must function as a live document, not just a policy report.

"It should guide action through scientific understanding, risk-based assessments and strong participation from all stakeholders," he said.
