Delhi's Air Quality Index has worsened as winter approaches, raising concerns among residents. Toxic foam is seen floating on the Yamuna River, indicating high pollution levels in the water. This rising pollution is causing serious health problems, especially for senior citizens who are particularly vulnerable. Locals are worried about how the situation will deteriorate after Diwali, when firecrackers often add to the already poor air quality. With colder temperatures trapping pollutants closer to the ground, many fear that respiratory issues and other health problems will increase. Efforts to reduce pollution, such as limiting firecracker use and improving waste management, are crucial to protect public health. As winter sets in, the community hopes for effective measures to combat the pollution crisis and improve air and water quality for everyone in the National Capital.

On October 18, Delhi faced rising air pollution, and toxic foam was spotted floating on the Yamuna River in Kalindi Kunj. This situation raised health concerns among residents. Last year, Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal promised to clean the Yamuna River before the 2025 Delhi assembly elections. However, with the elections approaching, the current state of the river suggests that this promise remains unfulfilled. The contrast between Kejriwal's assurances and the reality of the polluted river has sparked discussions among the people of Delhi, who are worried about both air quality and the condition of their rivers. As the elections get closer, many are questioning the government's efforts to tackle these environmental issues.

BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi recently claimed that a massive drug seizure worth Rs 5,600 crores occurred in Delhi, dwarfing the Rs 768 crores seized during the UPA government's tenure from 2006-2013. He also stated that the BJP government seized Rs 22,000 crores worth of drugs between 2014-2022. Trivedi linked Tushar Goyal, the alleged kingpin of the drug syndicate, to the Indian Youth Congress RTI Cell, raising questions about the Congress party's connections with Goyal. Specifically, Trivedi inquired about the nature of the Congress party's relationship with Goyal, potential financial ties to the party's elections, and possible arrangements between party leaders and drug peddlers. BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi said, "Yesterday in Delhi, drugs worth Rs 5,600 crores were seized. This quantity is important as during the UPA government (2006-2013) only drugs worth Rs 768 crores were seized across India...The BJP government from 2014-2022 has seized drugs worth Rs 22,000 crore. The main accused and kingpin in the drug syndicate, Tushar Goyal is the chief of Indian Youth Congress RTI Cell...What relations does the Congress party have with him (Tushar Goyal)?...
