दिल्ली की जनता को पानी के बकाया बिलों से राहत दिलाने के लिए सरकार ने बड़ा निर्णय लिया है. पानी के बकाया बिलों पर लगने वाली लेट फ़ीस( लेट पेमेंट सरचार्ज) 31 दिसंबर 2022 तक के लिए 100% माफ रहेगी. यानि आप बिना लेट फ़ीस की चिंता किए अपने पुराने बकाया बिल भर सकते हैं. — Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) October 10, 2022

"A very important project has been approved today to make Yamuna pollution free. Under this, 85 MGD sewers falling in Keshopur and Najafgarh will be cleaned daily and dumped in the Najafgarh drain. This will reduce the pollution of Yamuna water by 30%. This step will prove to be very helpful in cleaning the Yamuna", tweeted Kejriwal.

यमुना को प्रदूषण मुक्त बनाने के लिए आज एक बेहद महत्वपूर्ण प्रोजेक्ट को मंजूरी दी है। इसके तहत केशोपुर व नजफगढ में गिरने वाले 85 MGD सीवर को रोज़ाना साफ़ कर नजफगढ नाले में डाला जाएगा. इससे यमुना के पानी का प्रदूषण 30% तक घटेगा. यह कदम यमुना साफ़ करने में बहुत मददगार साबित होगा. — Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) October 10, 2022
