The Yamuna River is located in the state of Uttar Pradesh. 3. The AAP Delhi president has raised concerns about the alleged corruption in the DJB. How many of the above statements are correct?
Statement 1 is true because it is directly mentioned in the fact list that the DJB has set up tanks and equipment to spray chemicals to remove foam from the Yamuna River. Statement 2 is false because the fact list states that the Yamuna River is located in Delhi, not Uttar Pradesh. Statement 3 is true because the AAP Delhi president is mentioned in the fact list as having raised concerns about the alleged corruption in the DJB.

Statement-II: The DJB has set up tanks and equipment to spray chemicals to remove foam from the Yamuna River. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
