Shinde pledges again to clean Indrayani River

Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has again pledged to clean up the polluted Indrayani River, marking his fourth such promise in two years. He stated work would begin this year. Shinde made the commitment on Friday during an event in Alandi, emphasizing the government's seriousness in addressing the river's pollution. Plans include installing sewage treatment plants to prevent untreated waste from entering the Indrayani. The river holds religious significance, and Shinde's promise follows reports of toxic foam. He also announced funds for a "Bhakta Nivas" and addressed other warkari demands.
