Political Blame Game Erupts as Toxic Foam Covers Delhi's Yamuna River

The toxic froth on the Yamuna River, caused by untreated sewage and industrial pollutants, has sparked a political dispute between the BJP and AAP governments.

  • The Yamuna River in Delhi is covered with a thick layer of toxic foam, posing health risks to residents and highlighting severe pollution issues.
  • The BJP accuses the AAP government of failing to prioritize cleaning the river despite being in power for a decade, while AAP blames Uttar Pradesh for releasing polluted water.
  • Experts attribute the foam to untreated sewage and industrial waste, with only half of Delhi's daily sewage being effectively treated.
  • The situation worsens as the Chhath Puja festival approaches, with the river's pollution threatening traditional festivities where devotees take a dip in the river.
  • Environmental experts warn of serious health risks from the foam, which contains high levels of ammonia and phosphates, urging immediate government action.
