Video: Navy Boat, Trying To Help Clean Yamuna In Delhi, Stuck In Sewage
An Indian Navy boat, deployed to help clean the river Yamuna in Delhi, is stuck in the very sewage it aims to remove. The Navy's 'Barasingha' has been docked for over a week at the riverbanks, trapped in the muck and waste in the Yamuna. Visuals show the boat stationed at a spot, with two Navy officers standing guard near the fetid river. The vessel, equipped for desilting, is unable to move because the water is too shallow; any boat needs at least two metres depth to move but because of decades of pollution, the depth is far less in parts of the river.
