The scheme proposes to extract water from the Yamuna floodplains

Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit directed the Delhi Jal Board on Monday to initiate work on a project that was sanctioned to extract water through non-invasive technology from the Yamuna floodplains but has been hanging fire. The Chief Minister’s direction came after a group of students from Delhi University met her, requesting to sanction the project, which is also the subject of their thesis.
