Pollution In Yamuna River After Immersion Of Goddess Durga Idols

NEW DELHI, INDIA - OCTOBER 12: Locals scavenge for the remains of Goddess Durga idols after the immersion in the River Yamuna near ISBT, on October 12, 2016 in New Delhi, India. Hundreds of Durga idols immersed at around seven Yamuna ghats across the national capital are set to increase the pollution level in the river. Authorities are trying to ensure that non-biodegradable items do not make it to the already polluted river. The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) will analyse the impact of the immersions on Yamuna’s toxic and foamy water by resorting to pre and post water quality check.
