Haridwar (Uttarakhand) [India], June 1 (ANI): Hours after taking a dip in the Ganga river, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday asserted that her government is continuously working towards cleaning the Yamuna river in the national capital.
Addressing a public rally in Uttarakhand's Haridwar, Delhi CM Gupta said, "Yesterday, we did the aarti of Yamuna ji in Delhi and today I took a bath in Ganga ji. Today, I want the blessings of all the saints sitting on this stage that one day we will be able to take a bath in Yamuna ji. Yamuna is dry; there is no water in it, and the water that is there is very dirty. I have to work continuously to achieve this goal of cleaning the Yamuna River..."
Earlier in the day, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, accompanied by her family, visited the Har Ki Pauri ghat in Haridwar and took a holy dip in the Ganga river.
After taking a holy dip in the Ganga at Har Ki Pauri, Delhi CM Rekha Gupta said, "Taking blessings from Maa Ganga, we will work to make Maa Yamuna clean and beautiful.
