Gaurav Sharma Mahant: As part of the ongoing awareness campaign for the River Yamuna, world champion powerlifter-turned-shooter Gaurav Sharma Mahant organised a cleanliness drive at the Yamuna ghats in the National Capital on Sunday.
Talking to reporters, Gaurav said, "The Yamuna river is very important for us, just like the Ganga. We all Delhiites should come forward and help in this cause. When we were cleaning the ghats, we found several idols thrown by people and also beer bottles."
"This was really disheartening. We say Yamuna is like a mother to us and then we treat her like this. It is high time that people take the initiative of cleaning Yamuna," he added.
