Subject: How to rid Yamuna of pollution
( Yamunaji’s birthday on 16th
April 2013 )
Sir,
In pursuit of our zeal to clean up our
sacred rivers the Ganga and Yamuna and restore their original glory, we are
writing to you again, in the hope that you would consider our humble submission
sympathetically and allow (YFF) us to contribute to the cleaning up of these
rivers and all the water bodies across India.
This is our considered view that the
Ganga and Yamuna are important rivers because of their geographical and
religious position in India. Therefore, it is our bounden duty and obligation
to rid them of pollution. Since we inherited these majestic rivers in their
original glory, it is but natural that we must restore their originality.
History beckons us that we must not fail in our duty.
As things stand today, it is very
unlikely that we will see a clean and serene Ganga and Yamuna in any
foreseeable future, through it may sound a bit pessimistic.
EXISTING
PROBLEM
It is a matter of great concern that
these rivers continue to be ever polluted. In fact, more polluted than before
(Supreme Court) in spite of the best and diligent efforts by the government as
well as numerous organizations (religious,
spiritual, social etc.) the result is far from satisfactory. Why is it that
we have nothing to show for our efforts? How long can we go on removing the
debris from Yamuna river’s bed ritualistically?
We are afraid, this is an exercise in futility.
WHERE
DO WE GO FROM HERE?
We humbly submit that we need to adopt Mahatma Gandhi’s way. As he showed the
world and India, in particular, how the participation and overwhelming support
of the mass, can bring a mighty empire
to its knees. What I am trying to imply is,
government
alone can not do this, public support is crucial. This
can be easily done in close co-ordination with YOUTH FRATERNITY FOUNDATION. We have the mass support behind us
for our innovative pilot project, and have had successful trial runs in many
parts of Delhi. But we lack wherewithal, and the government have wherewithal
but overwhelming public support.
Sir, we
wish to bring into your kind notice that our country is a religious country,
and people can not be stopped from worshipping and offering flowers to deities,
stopping them, would be considered
sacrilege.
There is an upcoming event Yamunaji’s birthday on 16th April 2013 and YFF is going to use this occasion to
spread awareness through mass contact and interaction. We would appreciate if
you kindly help us with some grants (monetary assistance) as we would be
needing massive manpower and other materials.
Another thing that we wish to inform
you is, the Ram Navami, next month, April and our reliable sources have
informed us that on 18 and 19 April,
2013 almost 6.5 lakh kg. of
worshipping materials and ceremonial flowers will be thrown into the Yamuna. If
you co-operate with us, we can take care
of this too.
It is, therefore, requested that you
may kindly extend your benign blessing and whole – hearted support to this noble
movement.
Hoping that you will consider our
humble request sympathetically and oblige us.
Thanking you,
Gopi Dutt Aakash
( President )

“Save the Yamuna, Stop the Pollution!”
Subject: YAMUNA MAHOTASAV - 2012
Hon’ble Madam /Sir,
We would like to apprise you that our
organization - Youth Fraternity Foundation – is engaged in dissuading people
from throwing flowers and other sacred waste material into the river Yamuna and
persuading them not to pollute it.
For this purpose, we have
developed a system, in consonance with the sentiments of the public, for door-to-door
collection, recycling and disposal of the said waste material, which is totally
free of cost.
As part of this mission, we have also been celebrating YAMUNA
MAHOTASAV- 2012, in the National Capital Territory of Delhi, since 31st March,
2012, coinciding with the auspicious Navratri period.
This festival will
continue for 221 days, till 15th Oct, 2012.
Our volunteers daily
go to the ITO bridge over the river Yamuna and persuade the people against
dumping the said waste material in it.
Our volunteers
request the people to avoid such a practice and instead avail our alternative
collection and recycling system.
For this collection
and recycling, we have made a specially-designed "kalash" which is a
collection-pot for the said sacred waste.
We are also collecting
the said sacred waste from temples, gurudwaras and mosques, so that this waste neither
reaches the river nor ends up in garbage dumps.
After collecting the
said sacred waste, we separate the plastic and non-biodegradable part, and
recycle the organic part which mostly contains flowers, ashes, food items etc,
by composting.
In order to ensure more
public participation in this movement, we also perform street plays in various
parts of Delhi.
Apart from spreading the
message to save the holy river Yamuna from pollution, we are also persuading
the ignorant people against indulging in female infanticide.
It is, therefore, most
humbly and respectfully requested that you may kindly extend your benign blessings,
whole-hearted support, cooperation and contribution to this noble movement.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
(Gopi Dutt Aakash)
