India, Oct. 14 -- Underlining the Bharatiya Janata Party's poll promise of having a clean Yamuna river, Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday assured the people of Delhi that froth caused by pollution over the Yamuna surface will not be seen during the upcoming Chhath festival. The four-day-long Chhath festival will begin on October 25 and will conclude on October 28.

She asserted that fast-paced work is underway for the rejuvenation of the river.

Pollution in Delhi's Yamuna river peaks after Diwali as it gets laced with white froth due to the discharge of sewage and industrial effluent in the river. This year, Diwali is being celebrated on October 20.
