Yamuna River Foam

As the four-day Chhath festival begins with the traditional 'Nahay Khay' on Tuesday, a disturbing sight marred the religious fervour along the banks of the Yamuna River near Kalindi Kunj in Delhi.

The Jal Board has advised Delhi residents to store adequate quantities of water in advance, based on their requirements, and use water judiciously.

Toxic foam was seen floating on the Yamuna River in the Kalindi Kunj area on Tuesday as pollution levels in the river remain high.

Visuals of toxic foam floating in the Yamuna River have emerged as the latest flashpoint in the power tussle between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government and Delhi's Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena.

While Delhi Air Quality Index stood at 273, Ghaziabad was at 246 and Noida at 228 at 8.20 am.

In a double whammy for the national capital, the average air quality index remained in the poor category at 293 on Friday and severe frothing was reported in the Yamuna, with parts of the river remaining blanketed in white.

Complete treatment of sewage discharged into the Yamuna from Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh is needed to prevent froth and foam formation in the river, a parliamentary committee has said.

Devotees offered 'Araghya' to the rising sun as toxic foam floated on the surface of the polluted Yamuna river during Chhath Puja celebrations at Kalindi Kunj, in the national capital, on Monday morning.

The Yamuna is ready for Chhath Pooja, said Arvind Kejriwal's party in a big update, just hours after Delhi Minister Atishi said toxic foam on the river will be cleared in the next one or two days.

At first glance, this video of white foam floating on the surface of the Yamuna River in Delhi's ITO area appears almost peaceful.

On the last day of Chhath celebrations, devotees made offerings to Sun God while standing knee-deep in the water of toxic foam-laden Yamuna river, near Kalindi Kunj in Delhi on Thursday.

Air quality has deteriorated sharply in Delhi, and a number of Delhi pollution memes have surfaced on Twitter.

The Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today mounted a fresh attack on the Arvind Kejriwal-led government accusing it of banning Chhath celebrations on the Yamuna riverbanks to cover up its failure to clean the river.

In viral images from the river Yamuna in Delhi, where toxic foam has endangered women taking ritual dips for Chhath Puja, boats and barricades were seen this morning, along with a man sprayed water to keep the filthy froth away.

The Delhi government has deployed boats to remove the toxic foam that was formed in the Yamuna river in a face-saving exercise amid severe criticism after Chhath Puja devotees were seen taking a dip in the river.
