Delhi Government Tackles Yamuna Froth Before Chhath Puja
The Delhi government is working to clean up the Yamuna River before the Chhath Puja festival.
They are using machines and chemicals to get rid of the foam that makes the water look dirty.
This foam is caused by pollution from sewage and factories.
The government is also building new places (ghats) along the river for people to pray.
They are spending money to hire boats, divers, and equipment.
They want to make sure the river is safe and clean for everyone who comes to celebrate.
The Delhi government is launching anti-froth operations in the Yamuna River before Chhath Puja.
The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) will deploy foam arresters and sprinklers.
New ghats will be prepared by the Irrigation and Flood Control (I&FC) department.
Approximately ₹24 lakh will be invested in the anti-froth operations.
Chhath Puja is a significant cultural and political event in Delhi, celebrated by the Poorvanchali community.
