Manoj Tiwari, a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party, rode a boat on the toxic foam-covered Yamuna in the national capital on Monday. An increase in ammonia levels in the Yamuna has also hampered the capital’s water supply since Saturday evening.
On the first day of Chhath Puja on Monday, devotees took a plunge in the Yamuna river near Kalindi Kunj, which was covered in a thick coating of poisonous foam. The residents expressed their dissatisfaction with the river’s water quality. Speaking to ANI in this matter, Mr. Tiwari said: “You can see that we are riding on the foam. The DDMA has allowed Chhath Puja on designated sites and not on Yamuna ghat.”
