· India · Hindustan Times, Indian Express
Delhi is planning to develop a 52-km riverfront along the Yamuna river modeled after the Sabarmati riverfront in Ahmedabad. Delhi water minister Parvesh Verma announced that the government has initiated an MoU with the Sabarmati Riverfront Development Corporation Limited to provide technical guidance and help secure necessary clearances. The project will be divided into two phases using Wazirabad as the midpoint, with the first phase covering Palla to Wazirabad and the second extending from Wazirabad to Kalindi Kunj. The development aims to feature large parks, cycle tracks, open spaces, and sports facilities for residents. Officials plan to execute the initiative with the assistance of an external consultant ahead of upcoming elections.
