TN: Toxic foam covers river, roads, fields in Hosur after dam discharges water
Water of the dam, polluted by industrial effluents, had to be discharged into Thenpennai river due to heavy rain, and foam has now piled up 5 feet on the road
Roads in Tamil Nadu’s Hosur and the adjoining agricultural fields have been covered with toxic foam after water was discharged from the nearby Kelavarapalli dam on Thursday (October 24).
The foams have been blocking roads and giving off a foul odour, leading to traffic jams in the region, some 40 km from Karnataka’s Bengaluru.
The water of the dam, polluted by industrial effluents, had to be discharged into the Thenpennai river due to the heavy rain the region has been receiving over the past week. And the foam has reportedly been piling up over a few days, now standing some 5 feet on the road.
Similar sights are common in the Yamuna in Delhi. However, in Hosur, the foams have affected the crops and added 15 km to commuters’ journey, thanks to a detour.Next Story
