Answer 1

The Yamuna Action Plan (YAP) is a bilateral project between the Government of India and Japan, introduced in 1993. It is one of the largest river restoration projects in India. The Government of Japan, via the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), has provided financial aid of ¥17.7 billion to carry out the project, which is being executed by the National River Conservation Directorate, the {[Ministry of Environment and Forests]}, and the Government of India. Phase I, which began in 1993, marked its end in 2003, even though it was expected to be completed by 2000.

This performance audit is the third in the series of reviews carried out by audit on issues relating to sewage management and treatment aimed at controlling water pollution in the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi. The earlier two reviews printed in the reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India relating to the Government of NCT of Delhi presented to the Legislature during 2000 and 2004 highlighted inter alia the slow progress of construction of sewage treatment plants (STPs) and sewage pumping stations (SPSs), rehabilitation of sewer lines, tardy progress of construction and utilisation of common effluent treatment plants (CETPs) to treat industrial effluents and continuing flow of large quantities of domestic and industrial sewage into the Yamuna without treatment resulting in pollution of the river water during its passage through the NCT of Delhi. Highlights of each of the earlier reviews are at Annex I. In view of the significant environmental risks associated with underperformance of sewage treatment projects, this performance audit was carried out with a view to assessing the cumulative status of the performance of STPs, SPSs and the connecting sewer lines as well as the actual treatment of domestic and industrial sewage, the quality of treatment and finally the impact on control of pollution in the river Yamuna as at the end of March 2004.
