Voicing concern for Yamuna 
     Yamuna river
 Around 2,000 youngsters from all over the country got together for an international social media campaign to mark the "International Day of Action", that was observed recently.
 The Indian campaign dealt with the issue of cleanliness of river Yamuna. About 200 youngsters from India signed an online petition asking the Ministry of Water Resources to take significant and effective steps to clean, rehabilitate and preserve Yamuna--a lifeline to 57 million people of the country.
  The issue is vital because millions of people depend on the river Yamuna directly or indirectly but despite so many programmes, the river is still as polluted as it was 15 years ago.?
