The Chhath festival has begun, but the celebrations are marred by toxic foam on the Yamuna River in Delhi. Thousands gathered for prayers and rituals, only to be met with thick, frothy foam covering sections of the river, particularly near Kalindi Kunj. This disturbing sight highlights the city's persistent pollution woes, with untreated sewage and industrial waste being dumped into the river. The foam poses health risks, including skin irritations, and raises concerns about the quality of the water and its potential impact on public health. Effective measures are yet to be implemented to address this recurring issue.
