Indian Aunty thinks Toxic Foam as Shampoo and washes her Hair in Yamuna River
One viral image showed an older woman washing her hair in the frothy water, sparking online comments that likened the toxic foam to shampoo—a tragic irony considering that the foam is hazardous. These scenes have drawn attention to the failure of pollution control efforts and the environmental disregard for one of India's most significant rivers. For residents and devotees, the foam is not just a discomfort but a danger, as prolonged exposure to the river’s pollutants can lead to skin irritations, respiratory issues, and other health complications. The sight of people performing rituals in such polluted conditions also raises questions about the government’s commitment to cleaning the Yamuna, a goal that has been announced numerous times yet has seen limited progress in reality.
