Rekha Gupta reaffirmed the government’s commitment to making the Yamuna River clean and pristine, drawing inspiration from the Ganga. In a tweet, she expressed confidence that the day is not far when a grand and divine Yamuna Aarti will be organized in Delhi, similar to the Ganga Aarti.

हमारी सरकार यमुना जी को स्वच्छ और निर्मल बनाने के अपने संकल्प पर अडिग है। वह दिन दूर नहीं जब दिल्ली में गंगा जी की तर्ज पर दिव्य और भव्य यमुना आरती का आयोजन होगा, जहां हजारों लोग हमारी महान सनातन संस्कृति से न केवल जुड़ेंगे, बल्कि उसे आत्मसात भी कर सकेंगे।

Government Committed to Reviving Yamuna on the Lines of Ganga, Says Rekha Gupta

The government has been actively working on various projects to rejuvenate the Yamuna, tackling issues of pollution and urban waste management. The proposed Yamuna Aarti could become a symbolic milestone in these efforts, akin to the spiritual and cultural significance of the Ganga Aarti in Varanasi and Haridwar.

Her statement aligns with the broader mission of environmental conservation and cultural revival, resonating with efforts to blend spirituality with governance. 

Experts believe that organizing a grand Yamuna Aarti in Delhi could serve as a major cultural and religious attraction, drawing devotees and tourists alike. It could also boost awareness about river conservation efforts and encourage greater public participation in keeping the Yamuna clean. If successfully implemented, the initiative may transform the riverfront into a spiritual and ecological landmark, reinforcing the government's vision of Viksit Delhi—a developed and culturally enriched capital.
