The Indian Express, New Delhi, Feb 2017: The Delhi government has roped in an Israeli firm to clean up, through ecological methods, an eight-kilometre stretch of one of the most polluting drains that empties into the highly-polluted Yamuna river. Delhi Water Minister Kapil Mishra said Israeli firm ‘Ayala Water and Ecology Ltd’ has been tasked with preparing a detailed project report on cleaning up the Bhalswa to Surghat stretch of the supplementary drain. “The report will be prepared in the next four months.

It can be considered a big step as the drain has a capacity of 180 million litres per day (MLD),” Mishra said.
