Mathura: The Central government is as serious in cleaning river Yamuna as it serious for rejuvenation of river Ganga, Union Water Resources Minister Uma Bharati today said.
"Yamuna Shuddhikaran Abhiyan is bound to get successful because the Union government is as serious on cleaning river Yamuna as it is serious on Ganga rejuvenation. The government is serious in making the rivers pollution free," Ms Bharati said in Vrindaban in the district.
