It has also been reported that 5 of the 11 subsections of the restoration and rejuvenation plan have already been developed, including Vasudev Ghat, which was visited by the newly elected BJP -led Delhi Cabinet after assuming office in February. Asita East, Amrut Biodiversity Park, Yamuna Vatika near Rajghat and West banks were among the others.

O zone area

Although the Yamuna and its floodplain fall under the O Zone category, exceptions are being made under court orders for major projects like the Commonwealth Games Village and flyovers, allowing for permanent constructions and concrete structures.

1,660-hectare broader rejuvenation project

The rejuvenation project that spans around 1,660 hectares will also have unpaved walking and cycling tracks across all 11 subsections, riverine grasses to maintain ecological balance, and depressions to store excess water for enhancing floodplain management and sustainability.
