NEW DELHI: Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta, accompanied by Delhi minister Kapil Mishra, inspected the capital’s first-ever Namo Yamuna River Safari ahead of its proposed soft launch before Chhath, describing it as a new experience for residents and a potential family picnic destination.
During the inspection, Gupta said the government planned to inaugurate the river safari before Chhath and expressed hope that it would offer visitors a peaceful experience on the Yamuna, news agency ANI reported.
We plan to inaugurate this before the festival of Chhath. It will be a special experience for the people of Delhi. Just like how when we visit other cities and travel by boat along the Ganga, the Yamuna, or any other river, we experience a sense of peace, in the same way, while taking this ‘Yamuna Safari’ on Mother Yamuna, people will find peace and be able to seek her blessings.
Highlighting the project’s potential as a family-friendly recreational destination, the chief minister said it was being developed with consideration for the natural environment and the cleanliness of the Yamuna.
Families will come here; it is being developed into a beautiful picnic spot while keeping nature in mind and ensuring the cleanliness of Mother Yamuna as residents utilise it. This is a major achievement for Delhi and a source of happiness for the people,” She added.
