DPCC Reports Marginal Decrease in Yamuna River Faecal Coliform Levels in July
Delhi Pollution Control Committee data for July shows a marginal decrease in faecal coliform levels at several points along the Yamuna river compared to June, indicating reduced untreated sewage. However, levels remain significantly above permissible limits. Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) levels continue to be high, signaling ongoing pollution that threatens aquatic life. Samples were collected from seven locations including Palla, Wazirabad, and Nizamuddin bridge, with most points showing improvement or stability except one with slight deterioration.
