My Yamuna My Dilli - Clean Yamuna Campaign to be launched by Guruji

New Delhi, Feb 4 (IANS) Spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Thursday announced a three-month campaign to clean river Yamuna.
The campaign — ‘My Yamuna, My Dilli’ — to be launched here Sunday, is being organised in view of the Central Pollution Control Board’s (CPCB) latest report that the faecal content in the water of the Yamuna is so high that the river resembles a drain.

“We are responsible for the present condition of the Yamuna. Therefore, if we all get together to clean the river, the efforts will definitely bear fruit. Keeping this in mind, we are launching the ‘My Yamuna, My Dilli’ campaign here on Sunday,” Shankar, who is the founder of the Art of Living movement, told reporters at a press conference here.
