Cleaning operations are being carried out in the affected stretch to remove the foam, officials said.

Formation of toxic foam along the Yamuna near the Kalindi Kunj barrage in southeast Delhi, particularly during winter months, has been attributed to high levels of pollutants, including detergents and untreated sewage entering the river.

The accumulation of foam has also raised concerns over the deteriorating water quality of the river.
