Man reaches Mathura civic body office dressed as cockroach to draw attention to Yamuna pollution,

Clad in a cockroach costume, social activist Deepak Sharma warned that if the issues were not addressed promptly, the condition of the Yamuna would worsen in the days to come.

Sharma said he was compelled to dress as a cockroach to open the eyes of the "incompetent" officials, who have virtually turned a blind eye to the pollution of the Yamuna and the rampant filth in the city.

Municipal officials did not comment on the incident, which followed the launch of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). A satirical social media account, the CJP has launched a campaign demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET-UG paper "leak".
