Delhi Leaders at Delight for Delhi Summit Push Tourism Growth as Amit Shah Directs Yamuna Rejuvenation with 1,500 MGD Sewage Plant Target

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Minister Kapil Mishra attended the "Delight for Delhi" summit focused on enhancing tourism in the national capital. Gupta emphasized the importance of reimagining Delhi's image as a global city rich in history, heritage, culture, cuisine, music, and art, aiming to attract tourists worldwide. Mishra highlighted the government's commitment to implementing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for Delhi tourism, with the summit expected to yield 8–10 major decisions for the sector. Concurrently, Union Home Minister Amit Shah chaired a high-level review meeting on the rejuvenation of the Yamuna River. Shah directed officials to increase the capacity of the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) for the Yamuna to 1,500 million gallons per day (MGD) by 2028. He stressed the promotion of e-flow in the river and called for third-party quality testing of all STP outflows. Shah also recommended releasing treated water from Okhla downstream to improve water quality and urged the Delhi government to collaborate with the National Dairy Development Board to manage waste from dairies and cow shelters. The Delhi Pollution Control Committee was instructed to take active measures to control water pollution. Senior officials including Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, C.R. Patil, and Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan participated in the meeting. Gupta noted ongoing efforts to clean the Yamuna, addressing a backlog of three centuries of neglect, with work progressing on drain cleaning and plans for river cruises.
