Netizens reacted in shock to a woman washing her hair with toxic foam from the Yamuna River, watch

A shocking video of a woman washing her hair with toxic foam from the Yamuna River has gone viral, sparking outrage and disbelief among netizens. The video, which was posted on social networking site X (formerly Twitter) under the username mrjethwani_, has garnered over a million views, causing many to question the ignorance surrounding the excessive pollution of the river.

The footage shows the woman carelessly rubbing foam into her hair, treating it as if it were regular shampoo. Other women in the background watch her do the same, seemingly unfazed by the toxicity of the foam. The exact date and location of the incident remains unclear, but the video quickly gained attention for its disturbing depiction of the growing environmental crisis in India’s rivers, especially the Yamuna.

The video sparked a strong reaction from internet users, many of whom expressed shock and concern at the woman’s actions. “They have no idea how toxic this industrial waste foam is,” wrote one user, while another highlighted the seriousness of the situation, commenting: “This is the state of the rivers of our country, which we all call mother. These rivers become so polluted and no one pays attention to it.”

Many netizens have criticized authorities for failing to address growing pollution in the river, which has been a long-standing problem. “This is Delhi, it doesn’t matter here, life in Delhi is not what the villagers think,” one user remarked, hinting at disparities in environmental awareness and lack of action to improve the situation.

Some Internet users were more cynical, commenting on the possible consequences for the woman. “They’ll be going to the dermatologist in a few days,” one user sarcastically predicted, while another joked: “A combination of shampoo and water to wash your hair.”
