Environmental efforts
In 2023, the Uttar Pradesh government announced a revival project for the Loni River under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA), with a budget allocation of ₹1.5 crore. The project includes desilting, embankment repair, plantation drives, and removing encroachments to restore natural flow. This effort is part of a broader initiative to rejuvenate small rivers in the Prayagraj region, including Belan, Bakrahi, Sevarahi, and Ghaghar. == Significance ==
