Expert declares India's sacred waterway 'dead’ as toxic foam engulfs its surface
An environmentalist declared the Yamuna River 'completely dead' on Sunday, October 20, citing its barren aquatic landscape and the choking toxic froth that now blankets its surface.
The Yamuna River, a revered waterway for Hindus, presented a disturbing image on Sunday, as videos showed its surface covered by a dense, frothy foam, choking the heart of the Indian capital.
"Yamuna's water is black throughout the year minus the months when it actually rains,” said Vimlendu Jha, an Indian environmentalist and Executive Director of Swechha India, an organization dedicated to raising awareness on pollution in Yamuna River.
