2025 offers an opportunity to positively address the critical issue of environmental flows in the upper segment during review of 1994’s Yamuna water sharing agreement. This will also show whether or not the revival of river is govts’ priority at all. sandrp.in/2025/01/02/yamuna-…

River song by Murari Sharan, Sung by Chandan Tiwari
इठलाने बलखाने वाली,
अब बेबश हो बहती हो I
कंचन कायावाली मईया,
काली-काली दिखती हो I
बंध गए तेरी बाह,
हो नदिया धीरे बहो I
अब कौन सुनेगा तेरी आह....
नदिया धीरे बहो

Existence of Asan rivers in Dehradun is under threats on account of highway projects dissecting its watershed, unplanned urbanization damaging its catchment. Dumping of solid & liquid waste in massive amount hs only degraded the rivers beyond recognition. sandrp.in/2024/06/25/photo-b…

Thr r housing colonies named Jamuna Vihar & Ganga Parisar along Asan course but nothing to remember Asan. It appears Asan is a forgotten river & seen as filthy drain by admin & residents.sandrp.in/2024/06/11/photo-b… @DdnNagarnigam @smartcityddun @dmdehradun

The brutal murder of 3 policemen in UP, Bihar & MP in May-June 2024 indicate the violent nature of illegal sand mining operations & abject failure of govts in State & at Centre in ensuring compliance to norms & deter increasing attacks on govt officials. sandrp.in/2024/06/30/may-jun…
