- ?Use Yamuna bed for construction?: Metro man E. Sreedharan shifted his
focus ? from transport to land, which he felt was scarce in Delhi. And
expectedly, he had a solution worked out. Unproductive land of the Yamuna
riverbed should be used to meet the city?s land shortage problem, he said,
while speaking at a CII conference on The Brand Delhi: What does it
represent. ?Narrow down the river; this will ensure proper water flow,? he
suggested. Sreedharan even asked decision-makers to shed reservations
arising out of environmental concerns. As far as hazards created by sewage
dumping in the river are concerned, he said the present sewage routes
should be intercepted with a single, long line parallel to the river.
