The Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) has prohibited Chhath Puja on the banks of the Yamuna this year, leading to a war of words between the BJP and AAP. However, several devotees were seen taking a dip in Delhi's Yamuna river, which was covered in a thick layer of toxic foam. Watch this episode of 10 Tak.
