3 thoughts on “Faith amidst the foam: Chhath Puja on the banks of Yamuna

  1. Interestingly put together! While there’s pollution and environmental issues, yet India being a densely populated country with a rich and varied cultural heritage, faith certainly prevails over all odds. Also with internet and social media’s easy access, some specific geographic and/or religious pujas and rituals that were earlier limited to the specific areas and communities are now celebrated with a lot more fervour and traditions across geographies. I wonder if we as a country need to really curb such practices or just get our act together and take all necessary steps to ensure smooth functioning of our socio cultural festivities by investing better on cleaning of rivers / planting more trees or taking all actions to preserve the environment.

  2. The Yamuna River enters Delhi at Palla Village and exits at Jaitpur. It flows through urban Delhi for about 22 kilometers, from Wazirabad Barrage to Okhla Barrage as we understand the flow of the river

    The Yamuna River in Delhi is currently experiencing high pollution levels and toxic foam:

    Pollution: The river’s pollution levels are alarming.

    Toxic foam: A toxic white foam is floating on the river. This foam is caused by a combination of pollutants and fats from decaying plants. It contains high levels of ammonia and phosphates, which can cause serious health issues like skin and respiratory problems.

    Dissolved oxygen: The amount of dissolved oxygen (DO) in the river is low at some points, which can harm aquatic life.

    Air quality: The air quality in the area is very poor.

    Those offering the chat Pooja could also contribute to clean up the river of all the toxins and stop the pollution into the river the NGT seems ignorant of this situation and seems only focused on moving the cars over 10 /15;years off the roads from.NCR and delhi and however the yamuna that was a source of water to Delhi now is gutter that takes the drain hope there is some intervention from.the regulator pollution board that could take some proactive action and save the river for our next generation soom
