Advancing the deadline for the cleaning of the Yamuna in Delhi, Water Minister Satyendar Jain on Tuesday said the river would be cleaned by December 2023 and not 2025.

All wastewater in Delhi would be tapped in six months and all areas be linked to the sewer network in 15 months, he said at a virtual session organised by Assocham.

“All drains will be completely cleaned… I am confident,” he said. —

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
