Toxic foam has been observed on the Yamuna River near Okhla Barrage in Delhi, raising alarms as the Chhath Puja festival approaches. The incident highlights ongoing pollution issues despite government efforts to improve water quality.
Delhi's air quality continues to decline, with the AQI recorded at 180, prompting the activation of pollution control measures. The presence of foam is often linked to industrial pollutants, although the specific cause remains unverified.
A recent cleanliness campaign aimed at revitalizing the river saw significant local community involvement ahead of the Chhath Puja festival.
