The sight of white foam seen every year in Yamuna is rarely seen in any river in India. There are 8 major rivers and more than 400 others in the country. Some are found in the Arabian Sea and others in the Bay of Bengal. If we talk about Yamuna, its existence is visible only from Yamunotri in Uttarakhand to Sangam in Prayag.

The good happiness and peace that should be obtained by looking at the river is lost. Why does Yamuna lose its existence in Delhi itself? Is it the responsibility of the government or the public?

Where does Yamuna start spouting poisonous foam from her mouth?

We have heard this story since childhood that once Kaliya Nag lived in Yamuna. Yamuna started boiling due to her poison. So the river water was becoming poisonous. Then Shri Krishna came and chased him away. Just like a person starts foaming at the mouth when bitten by a snake. In the same way, Yamuna also starts spewing foam every year due to the pollution snake. This snake of pollution bites you between Wazirabad and Yamuna Barrage Okhla. Yamuna is clean in Uttarakhand. The fifth part is also clear. So why so much dirt only in Delhi?

These are the main reasons for the pollution of the Yamuna…

Yamuna is one of the most polluted rivers in the country. It is contaminated by untreated and partially treated sewage, industrial waste and agricultural waste. The second reason is natural. In summer the water of this river almost dries up. There are many trees, plants, garbage and animal carcasses lying all over the river and its banks. When they flow after rain, they create, due to pollution, a poisonous foam of a terrible level.
