Overview
- AAP alleges a filtered-water pond was built at Vasudev Ghat for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, citing a DPCC report that deems many Delhi stretches unfit for bathing.
- The BJP rejects the charge as political drama and highlights cleaned ghats, lighting, and sanitation drives for devotees across the city.
- DPCC data show BOD near safe limits at Palla and Wazirabad, rising to roughly 20–23 mg/L at inner-city sites like ISBT, ITO, Nizamuddin and Okhla, far above the 3 mg/L benchmark.
- Officials tout a drop in faecal coliform at Nizamuddin versus last year, a claim the opposition disputes as selective and not reflective of most sampling points.
- Ground reports note reduced surface foam at some ghats alongside ongoing sewage inflows, with a viral clip of a Delhi BJP MLA slipping into the river adding to the charged back‑and‑forth.
