Thick toxic foam blanketed stretches of the Yamuna, once again highlighting the alarming levels of pollution in the river.

Toxic white foam continues to blanket the river between Wazirabad and Okhla, a sight that has become common.

The urban waste generation has also risen, turning the seasonal frothing into a recurring crisis as the city's population increased.
