लंदन की नदी में इंडियन के पैर धोने से विवाद: सोशल मीडिया यूजर बोले- गंगा-यमुना काफी नहीं, टेम्स को भी वैसा बनाना चाहते हो

Controversy has erupted after an Indian youth washed his feet in London’s famous River Thames. A video of this incident is going viral on social media. Some reports also claim that he later tried to take a bath in the river.

The River Thames is considered the identity of London and along its banks are famous places like the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye and Tower Bridge. When this video surfaced on Instagram and other social media platforms, it sparked strong reactions from people.

A social media user said that Ganga-Yamuna was not enough, now you want to make Thames like that too. Another wrote that Indian man is washing feet in Thames, people are angry. What kind of actions are these?

People asked- what is the problem in this?

Many social media users have also tweeted in support of the young man. One user wrote that what is the problem in washing feet. One wrote- I am asking with respect, what is the problem in this?

User asked- Is it illegal to put feet in water? One user wrote that the color of the river itself tells that it is not right to wash anything in it. The other one jokingly said – Brother, don’t wash your feet, people drink this water.

Thames passes through London

The River Thames runs through the heart of the City of London and has been a mainstay of the city’s growth, trade and transportation for centuries. This river has been important since the time of the Roman Empire. The city of London was also established on the banks of this river.

There are famous bridges on the River Thames like London Bridge, Tower Bridge, Westminster Palace, London Eye and Thames Barrier. Many activities related to art, music, theater and festivals take place along the banks of the river. Cruise trips on the Thames are among the major attractions of London.

Discussion also started on pollution spread in the river

Amidst this controversy, discussion on cleaning and pollution of the river also started. According to a report by ‘The Guardian’, the amount of E.coli bacteria and sewage pollution has increased significantly in many parts of the River Thames.

Investigation also found that wet wipes and plastic waste had accumulated in the river and formed huge piles like wet wipe islands. One such big pile was found near Hammersmith Bridge.
