The Yamuna river in Delhi was covered with a thick layer of white froth on Saturday, raising concerns about potential health hazards as the festive season approaches.Experts have warned that the froth could pose serious risks to people’s health. The frothy layer, which resembled clouds floating over the river, gradually dissipated as the day progressed.

With major festivals like Chhath Puja approaching, experts have urged the government to take immediate steps to address the pollution. The froth, which contains high levels of ammonia and phosphates, poses significant health risks, including respiratory and skin problems, according to experts.

Every year, the festival season of November brings unwelcome reminders of how devastatingly polluted the water and air around the city remain. The Yamuna, one of the main sources of water for Delhi, is so overwhelmed by waste that it remains highly unsafe for bathing or irrigation.
