Ahead of the festive season and amid preparations for Chhath, the Delhi government is planning a series of measures to tackle the formation of froth in the river, including the use of defoaming chemical agents, deployment of power boats and increase in the flow of the river.

In the previous years, the BJP, when it was in the Opposition, had criticised the use of defoaming agents in anti-froth drives.
Meanwhile, speaking at the launch of Delhi Jal Board schemes at the Delhi Secretariat, chief minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday said no froth will be seen on the surface of Yamuna during the upcoming Chhath festival, asserting that work is underway to rejuvenate it.
"Very soon, people of Delhi will celebrate the Chhath festival on a grand scale. DJB has made all the preparations. I am assuring the people of Delhi regarding the froth that was earlier seen....just like the water-logging problem has been solved at Minto bridge, people of Delhi will see no froth in Yamuna this time," the CM said.
