Joint committee to be constituted for making Yamuna river clean: Nayab Saini This committee will not only focus on the cleaning of the Yamuna but also work towards resolving other related issues. According to an official statement here, Saini attended a meeting on "Inter-State Coordination Related to Yamuna Water Rejuvenation" chaired by Union Jal Shakti Minister, C R Patil, in New Delhi on Wednesday. Speaking after the meeting, Saini said that since the formation of the Delhi government under the leadership of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, developmental plans are being prepared at a rapid pace, and their implementation is progressing continuously. He said that work for cleaning the Yamuna river is being carried out on a war footing.

He said that under the ongoing campaign, 16,000 metric tonnes of garbage had already been removed from the Yamuna. He said that rejuvenation of the Yamuna is the top priority of both the Haryana and Delhi governments and assured that the public will soon witness a clean and rejuvenated river. The chief minister said that "the BOD level of the drain falling into the Yamuna river from Palla village in Karnal district is 80, and necessary steps are being taken to further purify this water". He said that there has been a significant improvement in the BOD level of Yamuna water at Okhla in Faridabad. To further enhance water quality, 44 Sewage Treatment Plants have already been established, through which about 620 MLD of water is being treated every day. In addition, nine more STPs are being set up to clean another 510 MLD of water. He said that issues related to the environment and water know no boundaries, and both states will have to work together to make the Yamuna completely clean. Saini said that strict measures are being taken to ensure that polluted water is not discharged directly into the river, and necessary directions have already been issued to the officers in this regard. He informed that the services of representatives and experts from both Delhi and Haryana will be utilised to monitor the Najafgarh lake and drain. In addition, the BOD level of the polluted water being discharged from industries in Haryana will also be regularly checked, he said. In the meeting, Union Secretary Devshree Mukherjee, Delhi Chief Secretary Dharmendra Kumar, Haryana Additional Chief Secretary Vineet Garg, Additional Chief Secretary, Irrigation Department, Haryana, Anurag Agarwal and senior officials of Irrigation and Environment Department were also present.

T.N. government plans survey to understand in-migration of labourers from other States, implications for State's economy
The Tamil Nadu government is planning to undertake an inter-State migrant labour survey aimed at understanding in-migration, its changing pattern and implications for the State's economy. The Commissionerate of Labour has floated a tender for conducting the survey. According to the tender document, the estimated population of inter-State migrant labourers in Tamil Nadu is around 35 lakh. They are working in various sectors, including construction, mining, quarries, hospitality, manufacturing, textiles, and shops and other commercial establishments. The proposed survey aims to understand migration (the process, mode of recruitment, and migration history), analyse the working and living conditions (accommodation, food, and other living expenses) of the migrants, understand their health condition (access to health check-ups and health centres), understand their social welfare (social security schemes), and provide policy suggestions. It aims to cover all 38 districts, and would focus on individual migrants who have left their family behind and come to the State, and migrants with families and children working in various sectors across Tamil Nadu. 'The survey will cover a 100% enumeration of these workers and not a sample one,' as per the survey implementation plan. The target group of the study are migrant workers who have less secure jobs and are vulnerable, and would include migrants from Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and the northeast. In 2015, the Tamil Nadu Migration Survey was conducted by the Centre for Development Studies, Thiruvananthapuram, and the Tamil Nadu government, with support from Loyola College, Chennai, and Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli, and with a sample size of 20,000. 'The inter-State in-migration in Tamil Nadu seems to be an urban phenomenon as the majority of the population migrating from other States is enumerated in the urban areas,' it said. In 2016, a survey on inter-State migrants was undertaken in Chennai, Kancheepuram, and Tiruvallur districts by Loyola Institute of Social Science Training and Research of Loyola College, and Indian Social Institute, Bengaluru. The survey, with a sample size of 730, said that about 85% of the respondents were from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Assam, West Bengal, and Jharkhand. As per the 'Report on Life and Times of Migrant Workers in Chennai Region - 2024-25', released by the State Planning Commission, a majority of the migrant workers in Chennai region (Chengalpattu, Chennai, Kancheepuram, and Tiruvallur districts) were from the eastern and northeastern regions of the country, particularly from Bihar, Odisha, and Assam. Earlier this month, the Union Ministry of Labour and Employment informed Parliament that the number of unorganised workers, including migrant workers, registered on the eShram portal (as on August 5, 2025) in Tamil Nadu stood at 93,15,434.

Punjab, Haryana lead in water-stressed districts under ‘catch the rain' campaign
1 2 Bathinda: Punjab and Haryana lead the table in water-stressed districts in the country where the Union jal shakti ministry has a special focus. The ministry, under its campaign, has stressed the need to benefit from rains by conserving rainwater to increase recharge and, thus, lift the water table. The campaign, 'Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch the Rain' (JSA: CTR), was launched in 2021 with the tagline 'Catch the rain – Where it falls, when it falls'. The drive was later scaled up to cover all districts, blocks, and municipalities across the country, but the focus remained on 150 districts, with both Punjab and Haryana at the forefront. Despite this, over 78% of blocks in Punjab are over-exploited, stated Union minister of state for jal shakti Raj Bhushan Choudhary in a written reply in response to a question by MP Indu Bala Goswami in the Rajya Sabha on Monday. The Union ministry, under the National Compilation of Dynamic Ground Water Resources of India - 2024, categorises districts under OCS (over-exploited, critical, and semi-critical) districts and compiled 193 districts from across the country, out of which 20 were from Punjab and 19 from Haryana. Out of 193 districts, 102 were found to be over-exploited, out of which 19 are from Punjab and 16 from Haryana. Out of 22 in the critical category, one each was recorded from Punjab and Haryana, and out of 69 semi-critical, two were recorded from Haryana. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo Under JSA: CTR for 2025, 148 districts were put in focus, out of which 19 are recorded from Punjab and 16 from Haryana.

Under JSA: CTR for 2023, 150 districts were put in focus, out of which six were recorded from Punjab and five from Haryana. The minister stated that although the JSA: CTR campaign was implemented nationwide, each edition had included a targeted focus since 2023 to maximise impact. The JSA: CTR-2023, with the theme 'Source sustainability for drinking water', prioritised 150 special focus districts identified by the Jal Jeevan Mission. The JSA: CTR-2024 campaign, themed 'Nari shakti se jal shakti', was carried out across the country with a special focus on 151 districts identified by the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB). The JSA: CTR-2025 was launched with the theme 'Jal sanchay jan bhagidari: Jan jagrukta ki or', emphasising deeper grassroots engagement, inter-sectoral convergence, and innovative financing mechanisms with a special focus on 148 districts identified by CGWB. He also stated that to address the challenges faced by the states and local bodies in the implementation of the Jal Shakti Abhiyan, particularly in water-stressed regions, the Union govt had adopted a comprehensive, multi-pronged approach. As part of this strategy, central teams consisting of central nodal officers (CNOs) of the rank of additional secretary/joint secretary/director/deputy secretary and technical officers from the organisations of DoWR, RD & GR (CWC, CGWB, NIH, CSMRS, CWPRS) were sent for field visits to the focused districts during the campaign for interaction with district authorities on Jal Shakti Abhiyan and to facilitate the districts and provide technical assistance. Further, state nodal officers are also appointed by all the states/UTs to oversee the implementation of the campaign at the state level. 148 Central nodal officers have been appointed for 148 high-focus districts for the JSA: CTR 2025-2026 campaign.
