Over the past week, visuals of toxic foam on the river Yamuna between Delhi and Uttar Pradesh made a comeback as Chhath Puja devotees took a dip in the river. The 22-kilometre stretch of the Yamuna between Wazirabad and Okhla, which is less than 2 per cent of its length of 1,370 kilometres from Yamunotri to Allahabad, accounts for around 80 per cent of the pollution load in the river. The presence of phosphates and surfactants in untreated sewage from Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh is a major reason behind frothing in the river.
