Agra, March 13 : Ahead of the ‘Rivers Action Day’ on Sunday, a series of conclaves were held in the holy city of Vrindavan along with meetings of green activists in Agra in Uttar Pradesh against the neglect of the Yamuna river.
“Those in power care neither for humans nor for stones,” was the general chorus against the neglect of the Yamuna river at the conclaves in Vrindavan, which is now organising the Vaishnav Kumbh.
The angry sants in Vrindavan have demanded immediate steps to restore the Yamuna’s pristine glory by releasing fresh water and stopping pollution by industries and continuous discharge of sewage into the holy river.
