A bizarre video has emerged of clouds of thick foam being blown onto a street in the neighbourhood of Thubarahalli, Bangalore, India.

The footage, captured by a local resident late last month, shows a huge cloud of white foam, blown off a nearby lake, engulfing a busy road.

According to local reports, the lake waters are polluted and have abnormally high levels of ammonia and phosphate, which leads to the growth of certain algae that form foam on the surface of the water.

The ammonia contained in the lake comes from sewage waters, which flow into the lake and can be dangerous to both human health and the environment.
