BJP MLA Ravi Negi fell into the Yamuna River while shooting a promotional video for a river-cleaning initiative but was quickly rescued and escaped injury. The Delhi government claims significant improvements in Yamuna water quality ahead of the Chhath festival, citing reduced faecal coliform bacteria levels at various points along the river. Water Minister Parvesh Verma attributes these improvements to government efforts such as removing silt from key drains. However, AAP’s Saurabh Bhardwaj countered with a DPCC report suggesting the water remains unfit for bathing and criticized Haryana's diversion of canal water.
