Delhi's air quality hits 'very poor' levels, river foams

India Nov 10, 2025

Delhi woke up to a thick blanket of smog and a "very poor" Air Quality Index this week, with pollution levels affecting various parts of the city.
If that wasn't enough, the Yamuna River near Kalindi Kunj is now covered with toxic foam caused by water pollution.

Authorities spraying chemicals to control foam

City authorities are spraying chemicals on the river to control the foam, but it's a reminder of how tough Delhi's pollution problem really is—both in the air and water.

Breathing polluted air can lead to serious health issues

Breathing this polluted air can lead to serious health issues like asthma or other lung problems.
Touching or using contaminated river water can also cause diseases.
It's a wake-up call for stronger action to clean up Delhi's environment.
