Indian Voters For Cleaner Delhi

Writes Vinod Varshney

Finally the voters of India have accomplished a cleansing job. They have thrown some of the political garbage in the dumpster. But one is not sure what political ragpickers will do of it now. May be they still find some of the garbage as saleable commodity like polythene bags which are picked up for sale and recycled.

Anyhow I hope that Delhi might be a little cleaner in coming years at the central government level at least. One should also expect the local governance of Delhi also to improve taking lessons from the Lok Sabha poll outcome which has shown the voters' cleansing power.

I for the sake of record would like to put a short video clip below, which was produced by the environment group of web delhi 2009 last month. It shows the other face of Delhi. It shows children taking bath in Yamuna river near Okhla Barrage in Delhi where it is so dirty that even fish could not survive in it. Please click the link below:
