Rakha Gupta govt plans to build a 'Great Wall of Delhi' to stop Yamuna flood problem. Here is the 4.7-km grand plan

Delhi plans a 4.7-km flood wall along the Yamuna's western bank before the next monsoon. The structure aims to protect areas like Civil Lines from rising river waters. However, environmental experts warn of potential long-term ecological damage and disruption to groundwater recharge. They suggest focusing on better water system management and addressing sedimentation instead of building permanent barriers.
