Foam in the water of Yamuna, cleaning is being done for Chhath
On the other hand, Delhi's Yamuna river has also become polluted due to pollution. Foam and toxic chemicals are visible in the waves of the river. However, the Delhi government has blamed it on the Haryana government. MLA Raghav Chadha said that the UP and Haryana governments are releasing dirty water and they do not care about it. In view of the Chhath festival, the work of removing the toxic foam of the Yamuna river also started.

An employee of the Delhi Jal Board said that we are pouring water into the Yamuna to eliminate the toxic foam.
