The Indian Government has said that it will launch water transport services on the Yamuna stretch between Haryana's Palla and Wazirabad in Delhi in the next three months. Commenting on the issue, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari told the media, "I want to assure you that we are going to start water transport from Palla to Wazirabad in the next three months. Yamuna will be beautified, its water will become clean, it will be made free of pollution.” "The saints from here met the Prime Minister, (Water Resources Minister) Umaji and (RSS chief) Mohan Bhagwatji and requested them to free Yamuna of pollution...the dream of the saints will come true," he added. Union Shipping Minister Gadkari also said that the government had decided to use plastic and metal waste from Delhi's Ghazipur landfill site for construction of Delhi-Meerut road and suggested that garbage dumped in Yamuna could be re-used for some other purpose.
