DDA concludes three-day Yamuna Dialogues initiative

The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) concluded its three-day Yamuna Dialogues initiative on July 30, 2026.

Recommendations from stakeholder workshops will form the basis of the proposed Delhi Yamuna Compact, an implementation framework for Yamuna floodplain restoration and management.

The workshops followed directions from Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu after his visits to the Yamuna floodplains.

Discussions covered six themes: floodplain-responsive planning, ghat development, nature-based solutions, water quality and drainage, sustainable financing models, and governance mechanisms.

The zero draft of the Delhi Yamuna Compact will be circulated for comments before deliberation on September 11, 2026, at Baansera.
