sahibi river

In a fresh push to clean Najafgarh drain, which is a major source of pollution in the Yamuna, Delhi government in its budget announced Rs 705 crore to rejuvenate it and called it by its original name, “sahibi river”.

The Delhi government approved the construction of a corridor along sahibi river to reduce congestion and provide an alternative route. Four major PWD roads were handed over to NHAI for better management and maintenance. The committee aims to enhance road infrastructure, eliminate traffic bottlenecks, and improve overall connectivity in Delhi.
