Summary:

New Delhi: Health minister Satyendra Jain said the AAP-led government will fulfil the promises made during the run-up to the Assembly polls. Jain who also holds Delhi Jal Board (DJB) under him for the next five years said the priority of the government will be to provide 24-hour water supply and cleaning of the river Yamuna and the sewers in the national Capital. He said: "You will consider cleaning of Yamuna when there is zero discharge of the sewer waste into the river. Our target is to reduce sewer waste by 25 per cent each year, then in three to four years we would have cleaned it properly."
