AP PHOTOS: River and air pollution in India's capital pose a severe health threat to residents
One of India’s most sacred rivers, the Yamuna in New Delhi, is covered with white toxic foam, with vast sections frothing as a result of pollutants discharged from industries around the city. The pollution poses a severe health threat to residents since the river provides more than half of the Indian capital's water.

Jasraj, a 70-year-old retired government clerk, said he has been visiting the river for a bathing ritual since...
