Delhi to Redesign Okhla Barrage to Stop Yamuna Frothing at Kalindi Kunj

Delhi's administration has unveiled a plan to redesign the Okhla Barrage to address the persistent frothing of the Yamuna River at Kalindi Kunj. The frothing, a phenomenon where the river surface appears foamy due to high flow velocity and turbulence, has been a recurring problem affecting water quality and the surrounding environment. The proposed redesign will involve adjusting the sluice gates and modifying the spillway structure to reduce water velocity and turbulence at the barrage. Experts say the changes should lower the frothing intensity and improve downstream water conditions. The government will consult hydrological specialists and set a timeline for implementation in the coming months.
