"Fifteen teams have been deployed to remove the foam in the river. The exercise will continue till the current frothing episode comes to an end," a Delhi govt official said.
New Delhi: Amid criticism over the formation of foam in the Yamuna -- a sign of its hazardous water quality -- the Delhi government on Tuesday deployed 15 boats to remove the froth with the help of ropes.
The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) conceived the plan and implemented it with the help of the Irrigation Flood Control Department and Revenue Department, officials said.
"Fifteen teams have been deployed to remove the foam in the river. The exercise will continue till the current frothing episode comes to an end," an official said. Officials said the idea entailed the deployment of boats parallel to each other and then roping the foam.
