Cooperation from industries, especially in sewage treatment, is deemed vital for achieving these goals.

In a bid to tackle major environmental challenges, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has proposed the creation of a CSR-backed fund to rejuvenate the Yamuna, reduce air pollution, and eliminate garbage dumps.
