Shivani Jaiswal,Mathura-
A unique protest over the growing pollution in the Yamuna River drew attention in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, after a young man arrived at the Municipal Corporation office dressed as a cockroach.
The protester claimed that the condition of the Yamuna had become so poor that “cockroaches and filth” seemed more visible than clean water. Calling himself a member of the “Cockroach Janata Party,” he accused civic authorities of ignoring the worsening pollution and failing to maintain proper cleanliness around the river.
The unusual demonstration quickly attracted public attention outside the municipal office, with several bystanders recording videos and sharing them on social media. The protest soon became a talking point across the city.
The youth demanded immediate action to clean the Yamuna River and urged authorities to take strict measures against those responsible for dumping waste and polluted water into the river.
Local residents also expressed concern over the deteriorating condition of the Yamuna and said the protest, though unconventional, successfully highlighted a serious environmental issue affecting Mathura.
