Delhi: ‘Freedom incomplete till Yamuna becomes clean and alive again'

Being with Maa Yamuna on this auspicious day reinforces our faith and reminds us of our responsibility to protect our rivers. Our progress as a society must also reflect in the way we treat our natural heritage. I urge everyone present today to extend their support in the collective mission of restoring the Yamuna back to its pristine state,' Verma said. Surrounded by visitors, government officials, local stakeholders, and several university principals and vice chancellors, Verma also undertook a 'boat yatra' with the boat draped in marigold garlands. The event drew hundreds of residents to the Vasudev Ghat. The minister said the rejuvenation of the Yamuna could not be left to one department alone, urging Residents' Welfare Associations (RWAs) and youth groups from colleges and universities to join upcoming cleanliness drives. 'The true mark of a developed and civilised nation lies not just in its infrastructure, but in its respect for nature and preservation of cultural heritage,' he said. In the recent months, the PWD has undertaken a string of measures to improve the Yamuna's banks, including debris removal, desilting and beautification works. Officials said the Independence Day programme was intended as both a symbolic gesture and a rallying point to expand public participation in these efforts.

Unsafe BMC school in Colaba wins major award
MUMBAI: A civic-run school in south Mumbai – Colaba Municipal School -- recently declared unsafe following which its students were relocated to nearby municipal schools recently, has made it to the state government's 'Mukhyamantri, Mazi Shala Sundar Shala' (My Chief Minister, My Beautiful School) scheme. The principal of the school learned about the selection on August 11, when he received a letter from the education officer requesting the school's bank details to transfer the award money of ₹11 lakh for the school's infrastructure development. Mumbai, India - Aug. 14, 2025: View of newly shifted class room of MPS colaba upper primary English school after it was declared dangerous and slated for demolition, at Colaba Market Municipal school, in Mumbai, India, on Thursday, August 14, 2025. (Photo by Anshuman Poyrekar/ Hindustan Times) (Hindustan Times) The education officer told HT, the award committee had inspected the school in October 2024, when one of its two buildings was classified in the C2-A category, indicating a need for major repairs, and partial or full evacuation. In June 2025, the second building was classified in a similar category. HT had reported about the evacuation of students from the school given the buildings' precarious state on August 5. Ironically, despite the scheme's rules, the school qualified for the award. The institution was given a month to shape up by taking care of all the repairs and its academic performances, when the competition was announced in July 2024. Subsequently, between August 5 and September 4, 2024, official inspections were done and a shortlist of schools was made in October of that year. Speaking up in defence of the award, a parent said: 'The school has its own kitchen garden, waste management systems, and other facilities, which helped it win the competition. But now, we have to leave the premises.' Education activists however critiqued the process, pointing out that 33 of the 150 marks in the scheme's scoring system are pinned on a school's infrastructure. The school has two buildings -- one classified as C1 (most dangerous) and the other in C2-A category. Shivnath Darade, representative of the teachers' union Shikshak Parishad, said, 'It is curious that the committee visited the school in October, and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) declared one of the buildings unsafe in November. As infrastructure alone carries 33 marks, a school with such a rating should not have topped the list.' The confusion over the school's status began in April 2025 when the principal, who is also responsible for building's maintenance, wrote to the School Infrastructure Committee (SIC) to ask if students could continue using the C2-A building. On May 1, the repairs officer confirmed that students could remain there, based on which offline classes resumed in June. But at the end of June, the BMC's building department issued fresh orders to vacate both buildings, declaring them dilapidated. This sudden move left the English-medium section without physical classrooms from July 15. Pointing out the school's importance, Darade said, 'This is one of the biggest BMC schools in the vicinity, just by the sheer number of students – over 5000 -- who study here, across Marathi, Hindi, English, Kannada, and Urdu mediums.' When asked about the contradiction between the building's unsafe status and the award, an education department official clarified, 'Infrastructure marks are not for the building itself, but also for facilities such as computers, smart boards, benches and washrooms. The award is not invalid because of the building's classification.' In all, six BMC schools were selected in the second phase of the competition. Apart from the Colaba school, other winners were the Madh Marathi School, Vinoba Bhave Urdu Medium School, New Byculla Municipal English Medium Upper Primary School, Tilak Nagar Public School, and Govandi Station Municipal School. While the prize money is traditionally used to improve a school's infrastructure, the school's management committee, which includes the principal, teachers, parents and students, has the authority to decide how it will be utilised. Classification of marks · Basic Infrastructure - 33 · Implementation of the government schemes, policies - 74 · Quality of education -- 43 · Total - 150

Clean-up deadline for Gurugram on filth, waste, and stray cattle
Haryana urban local bodies (ULB) minister Vipul Goel and the chief minister's principal secretary Rajesh Khullar have ordered civic agencies in Gurugram to remove stray cattle from roads within 15 days, and dispose of over 300,000 tonnes of construction and demolition (C&D) waste lying in the open within one month. Garbage in DLF Phase 1 in Gurugram on Tuesday. (HT Photo) The two officials gave the instructions during a review meeting with public works department officials on Wednesday. 'Chief minister Nayab Singh Saini said Gurugram must see visible, lasting improvements in cleanliness, infrastructure, and urban management. We are fully committed to making this happen,' said Khullar. Removal of litter, waste, stray cattle Khullar ordered that no garbage, polythene, or C&D debris should be visible on city roads, with strict action, including police involvement, against those burning waste in the open. Goel directed the civic body to improve door-to-door collection, enforce debris disposal fees at the time of building plan approval, and strengthen sanitation resources to keep public spaces garbage-free. Goel said that a WhatsApp helpline will be launched for people to report sightings of abandoned cattle, with rewards for those providing information and incentives for sanitation workers who catch and hand over animals to designated agencies. Gurugram currently has 5,000 stray cows and 1,500 bulls, according to official data. The Kamdhenu and Nandidham shelters run by the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) can house an additional 500 cows and 500 bulls, while Khullar instructed that two new gaushalas be set up to expand capacity. Drainage, water supply, and sewage solutions Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) chief executive officer Shyamal Mishra briefed the meeting on drainage and water supply projects, saying that Leg-1 and Leg-2 of the city's master drainage system are linked to the Najafgarh drain, while Leg-3 is under development. Temporary drains have been installed at critical waterlogging points, leading to faster rainwater clearance in areas like Narsinghpur, he said. The projects will lead to an increase in sewage treatment capacity to 950mld (million litres per day), while drinking water supply will expand from 670mld to 1,170mld, he said. MCG commissioner Pradeep Dahiya said 153 waterlogging sites have been addressed and a dedicated sewerage monitoring cell has identified 40 problem areas for permanent fixes. The tender for a new door-to-door garbage collection system opens on August 18, with plans for a second 400tpd (tonnes per day) C&D waste plant and three new collection centres.
