The committee has met all the concerned parties and requested to work to clean the river and improve its health.The situation in Delhi, UP, Haryana is very badEncroachment on the banks of Yamuna is also a major problem. Delhi and Haryana have informed about the encroachment, but the complete information has not yet been received from Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Despite being important for flood control, the flood area of Yamuna in Uttar Pradesh has not been demarcated.The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has freed about 477.79 hectares of land from encroachment from flood areas. Nevertheless, encroachment is still going on in some places due to litigation. The committee has urged the Department of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation to remove encroachments with DDA and State Governments and restore the flood sector ecosystem.
