Mathura: A nation-wide protest is being planned early next year to save the Yamuna river from pollution, the organisers said Monday.
Spearheading the Yamuna Bachao Abhiyan, volunteers from the Yamuna Rakshak Dal will on Dec 5 distribute pamphlets in Delhi to force political parties to include Yamuna in their agenda, said Jai Krishan Das, convener of the Dal.
Last winter, a campaign mobilised lakhs of people on the streets of Agra, Mathura, Vrindavan and Delhi to secure assurances from the union government.
Participants of the movement under the leadership of Barsana's spiritual guru Ramesh Baba have announced a march to Dwarka in Gujarat from where they will fan out to different parts of the country after Jan 15.
