Overview
- New ANI videos from Kalindi Kunj show layers of toxic foam on the Yamuna shortly after the chief minister said the stretch was free of filth and froth.
- Separate footage captured workers using anti-foaming spray at the ghat to reduce visible froth on the river surface.
- AAP’s Saurabh Bharadwaj accused the government of misleading the public and challenged Rekha Gupta and Parvesh Verma to drink a litre of Yamuna water to prove it is clean.
- Bharadwaj said the administration is using the same defoaming chemical applied in 2022, recalling that Parvesh Verma then criticized it as “poisonous.”
- BJP leaders say a large Chhath Puja is being organized on the Yamuna banks with arrangements at 1,300 ghats under the chief minister’s oversight.
