Tarun Chugh Condemns Environmental Negligence in Delhi by AAP Government

Delhi, October 18 : Bhartiya Janta Party National General Secretary Tarun Chugh strongly condemned the AAP government in Delhi, led by Chief Minister Atishi, for gross negligence in addressing the escalating pollution levels in the Yamuna River.

Chugh highlighted that despite earlier promises made by former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to clean the Yamuna, the river remains severely polluted. Toxic foam continues to accumulate, and the unchecked presence of harmful pollutants is wreaking havoc on Delhi’s water resources and public health. Despite repeated warnings, Chugh pointed out that the AAP government has failed to act, putting the health and safety of Delhi’s residents at serious risk.

He further criticized the AAP government’s continued inaction in regulating industrial pollutants entering the Yamuna. Even after record monsoon rainfall, which could have improved water quality, pollution levels have only worsened, with alarmingly high levels of ammonia and other toxic chemicals being detected. This failure, Chugh stated, reflects the gross inefficiency of the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) and other agencies responsible for safeguarding the environment under the AAP regime. Despite the Delhi government’s multiple action plans, the AAP has failed to improve sewage treatment and clean major drains. Their effectiveness remains highly questionable as pollution persists.

Chugh remarked that the rising pollution demonstrates the AAP government’s complete lack of commitment to protecting water resources and its inability to regulate industrial waste disposal effectively.

He emphasized that the presence of pollutants poses long-term environmental hazards, including serious health risks for both humans and aquatic life. The AAP government’s failure to implement proper regulations on these pollutants reveals a total disregard for public health, leaving Delhi’s environment and future generations in jeopardy.

Tarun Chugh called on the AAP government, led by CM Atishi, to be held accountable for its environmental mismanagement and failure to act on its promises. He strongly condemned the government’s inability to protect Delhi’s natural resources and to provide a healthy living environment for its citizens. Immediate and decisive action is required to mitigate the damage caused.

However, Chugh expressed doubts that such action would be taken under the current incompetent AAP leadership. The BJP, he stated, remains committed to ensuring a cleaner and healthier future for Delhi’s citizens—something the AAP government has clearly failed to deliver.”
