Delhi's Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena has publicly criticized local authorities, sharing photos of the toxic froth in the Yamuna River and urging a focus on resolving the environmental crisis instead of engaging in a blame game.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) accused neighboring BJP-led states of contributing to the pollution by dumping industrial waste, intensifying political friction as Delhi Assembly elections approach.

Saxena insists on accountability, highlighting the enduring impact of the truth despite political distractions, while the AAP defends its governance amidst claims of opposition interference from the BJP.
