Toxic Froth Resurfaces on Delhi's Yamuna River

Toxic Froth Resurfaces on Delhi's Yamuna River

A thick, toxic froth has reappeared on the Yamuna River in Delhi, making large parts of the river hard to see.

This froth is mixed with garbage like plastic, bottles, and even hair.

Experts say this is very bad for the river's health and the animals that live in it.

The water is also very dirty, with high levels of harmful things that can make people sick.

The government has rules to stop people from throwing trash into the river, but many people still do it.

Volunteers are trying to clean the river, but they say more needs to be done to keep the Yamuna clean and safe.
