New Delhi: The now-familiar sight of thick layers of toxic froth floating on the surface of Yamuna River was once again sighted at Kalindi Kunj in the national capital on Monday.
The Delhi government claims the froth in the river is because of the release of untreated waste from industries located in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
Bhim Sen Bhat, a resident who came to the river to offer morning prayers said, "Even after seven years of the formation of a union ministry specially focused on cleaning the polluted river, nothing major has happened on the ground. The responsibility of cleaning the Yamuna is not only the responsibility of the government but also of the citizens."
During the recent Chhath Puja, devotees were seen paying obeisance to the Sun God in the Yamuna with toxic foam floating on the surface of the river.
