Des Ki Baat: Chhath Puja Devotees Frolic In Toxic, White Foam In Yamuna

Des Ki Baat - November 8, 2021:Devotees were seen taking a dip in the Yamuna river near Kalindi Kunj in Delhi on the first day of Chhath puja today as alarming white, toxic foam covered the river. The water of the river, considered holy, is barely visible in grim visuals shared by news agency ANI. The hazardous foam seen floating on the Yamuna river was caused due to increased ammonia levels and high phosphate content, a result of industrial pollutant discharge into the river. Ammonia which is an indicator of pollution in the river, was at around 2.2 ppm (parts per million) on Saturday and Sunday. (Audio in Hindi)
