According to Navneet Khurana,Project Coordinator,Pranam Pushpanjali Noida:

"There is lack of awareness in our society regarding the Yamuna Pollution. There are religious superstitions which promotes dumping of spiritual garbage in the river Yamuna and the Hindon."

Pranam Pushpanjali, Noida is doing a good job for the collection and disposal of the Prayer flowers from the residents and temples of Noida for the river Yamuna conservation for 10 years in Noida under the guidance of the Founder Director,Pranam Puhpanjali,Noida, Meena Aum. There must be cooperation from the government and the society for the control of the dumping of floral garbage in the Yamuna river.

The people should respect and obey the environmental laws for the protection of environment and the center and state government must enforce the laws before it is too late.It urgent that a national environmental conservation mass awareness program should be taken up urgently to save these rivers.
