Delhi Water Pollution

As the Delhi government has promised to clean the Yamuna to bathing standards by 2025, the pollution load in the river has increased substantially over the last five years, according to a report by the environment department.

A Twitter user shared a picture of a flying saucer in Delhi which turned out to be a water tower.

As air quality in the national capital continues to hover in the 'very poor' category, desperate measures have been put in by the administration to improve the situation.

The Commission for Air Quality Management on Tuesday directed the Delhi government to intensify preventive measures and consider deploying water sprinklers and anti-smog guns round-the-clock to check spiralling air pollution levels in the city.

The Delhi Jal Board official was targeted by BJP MP Parvesh Verma for spraying "harmful" defoamer in Yamuna river on Saturday. He took a bath in the river's water to prove that the chemicals used were "non-toxic"

Using a saline nasal spray can help you avoid nasal irritation and clear blocked nose. It can also be used to relieve nasal congestion during a cold.

The Haryana Disaster Management Authority has further ordered to stop manual sweeping and start water sprinkling to control dust on roads. Like the recent order in Delhi, all government and private offices have been advised to work from home.

In viral images from the river Yamuna in Delhi, where toxic foam has endangered women taking ritual dips for Chhath Puja, boats and barricades were seen this morning, along with a man sprayed water to keep the filthy froth away.

Delhi blamed Uttar Pradesh and Haryana today as toxic foam turned the Yamuna river white, affected water treatment plants and hit the water supply in the national capital.

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.
