The Yamuna River at Kalindi Kunj in Delhi has been heavily polluted, with a layer of toxic white foam covering the water surface. This comes as the Delhi-NCR air quality index (AQI) reached 168, indicating unhealthy levels.
The Yamuna River, a major waterway in Delhi, has once again become a site of environmental concern. At Kalindi Kunj, a section of the river known for its pollution issues, a thick layer of white foam has been observed covering the water surface. This foam, often a sign of untreated sewage and industrial waste, poses a serious threat to the health of both humans and aquatic life. The Delhi-NCR region is currently facing unhealthy air quality, with the AQI reaching 168. This situation highlights the interconnectedness of environmental issues, as air and water pollution often exacerbate each other.
