Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Wednesday emphasized the importance of yoga, millets, and alternative medicine in fostering a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
Speaking at an event in the national capital ahead of International Yoga Day, Gupta praised the rising popularity of millet-based diets in Delhi, calling it a welcome shift toward wellness rooted in India’s cultural heritage.
“Yoga, alternative medicine, and millets are part of our glorious cultural legacy,” Gupta said. “Incorporating them into our daily lives will help build a healthier society and nation. My best wishes to everyone on Yoga Day.”
Referring to the upcoming Yoga Day event scheduled for June 21 at Yamuna Bank, Gupta expressed a personal connection to the river and reiterated her commitment to its cleanliness.
“I feel deeply connected to the Yamuna. Just seeing the river reminds me of my responsibility to keep it clean,” she said.
With monsoon rains expected to arrive early in the capital, Gupta assured that the administration is proactively checking drains for blockages and improving drainage connectivity to prevent waterlogging.
“We’re inspecting whether drains are clogged, too narrow, or poorly connected,” she said, adding that prompt action by the government had prevented water accumulation in the Minto Bridge area during recent showers.
Gupta also said that comprehensive measures are being implemented to prevent the spread of dengue, which typically spikes during and after the monsoon season.
