[Nowshorts] "Hambak snow piled up"... Toxic foam covering Yamuna River in India

The river is covered with white foam as if it were snowing heavily.

Did it snow?

No.

is a toxic foam that you shouldn't touch carelessly.

This is the Yamuna River, which is considered one of the holiest rivers in India.

These occur as frequently as annual events because of industrial sewage and urban waste, which is about 3.5 billion liters of waste every day.

So, as toxic chemicals are mixed with the river, harmful bubbles that can cause respiratory and skin diseases cover the entire river.

Huge budgets and manpower have been invested for decades to improve the water quality of these polluted rivers, but the situation is getting worse.
