2025 offers an opportunity to positively address the critical issue of environmental flows in the upper segment during review of 1994’s Yamuna water sharing agreement. This will also show whether or not the revival of river is govts’ priority at all. sandrp.in/2025/01/02/yam…

As yet thr is no statement frm govt if a fair probe will b done to know whr frm did 5 boats came to Prakasham barrage, whom they belonged to & if they wr indeed involved in illegal sand mining. @ncbn @RamanaiduTDP @GummallaSrijana @APSDMA @CWCOfficial_GoI sandrp.in/2024/09/04/and…

Sirs @NayabSainiBJP @cmohry @csharyana @DC_YNR @byadavbjp, plz see how pathetic is execution of sand mining rules. Here sand mafias r resorting to instream mining by heavy machines at night hrs in Yamuna river at Jathalana, Yamuna Nagar. @CRPaatil @cleanganganmcg @CPCB_OFFICIAL

Existence of Asan rivers in Dehradun is under threats on account of highway projects dissecting its watershed, unplanned urbanization damaging its catchment. Dumping of solid & liquid waste in massive amount hs only degraded the rivers beyond recognition. sandrp.in/2024/06/25/pho…

Thr r housing colonies named Jamuna Vihar & Ganga Parisar along Asan course but nothing to remember Asan. It appears Asan is a forgotten river & seen as filthy drain by admin & residents.sandrp.in/2024/06/11/pho… @DdnNagarnigam @smartcityddun @dmdehradun @cleanganganmcg @wii_india

The brutal murder of 3 policemen in UP, Bihar & MP in May-June 2024 indicate the violent nature of illegal sand mining operations & abject failure of govts in State & at Centre in ensuring compliance to norms & deter increasing attacks on govt officials. sandrp.in/2024/06/30/may…
