Finally some concrete action for Yamuna cleaning! The river is our lifeline and has suffered for decades. Hope these new posts bring accountability and faster implementation. 🙏 But will they have enough budget to actually make a difference?

Good move but restructuring alone won't solve Yamuna's problems. We need strict enforcement against industries dumping waste and public awareness campaigns. The new engineers should focus on sustainable solutions, not just temporary fixes.

Creating 156 posts is a welcome step, but I hope the recruitment process is transparent. Delhi has seen too many scams in public appointments. LG sahab should ensure merit-based selections only.

The golf course decision for retired govt employees is a nice gesture, but shouldn't Yamuna cleaning be the priority? Sometimes our leaders focus on small perks while big issues wait. Still, hope this restructuring brings real change!

As someone living near Yamuna, I've seen countless announcements but little action. This time, please involve local communities in monitoring. We know where the illegal dumping happens! More engineers means nothing without public participation.

The Dilli Gramodaya Abhiyan mention is important - rural areas around Delhi need equal attention. Hope the new divisions ensure balanced development across all regions. Urban flooding is bad, but village drainage matters too! 👍
