Fecal levels in the Yamuna peaked at 4,900,000 MPN/100ml, 1,959 times higher than the standard limit and 9,800 times above the desired limit.
This pollution level marks the worst since February 2022, when fecal coliform levels at the Agra Canal reached 6,300,000 units.
In the Kalindi Kunj area, toxic foam was spotted floating on the Yamuna River, adding to Delhi's mounting environmental concerns.
Certain stretches of the Yamuna are experiencing heavy flooding, making the pollution from mixed pollutants like surfactants and phosphates more visible.
