Delhi Faces Severe Pollution Amid Public Outrage

As the winter season approaches, Delhi NCR is once again grappling with severe air and water pollution, with the Yamuna River covered in toxic foam due to untreated sewage and industrial pollutants, posing health risks during Chhath Puja. Public outrage has been stirred by viral videos of the foam, highlighting perceived government inaction despite significant funds allocated for river cleaning. Delhi's air quality has deteriorated to 'very poor' levels, exacerbated by seasonal factors such as stubble burning. The Delhi government is implementing measures like deploying anti-smog guns and forming committees to identify pollution sources. However, criticism persists over the lack of effective solutions and the ongoing political blame game between the Aam Aadmi Party and the BJP.
