The incident not only disrupted the traffic and activities but also raised concerns about the environment among the residents and authorities.
The strange incident happened at the time of heavy rainfall in Casablanca and other Moroccan cities after years of drought.
Locals said that the foam smelt like a distinct cleaning product, and it quickly spread through the streets, stopping vehicles on the roads.
Soon after the unprecedented situation, the president of the Sidi Bernoussi district, Said Sabri, formed a joint commission to investigate the mysterious substance that has triggered tension.
The officials have collected the sample to analyse and investigate the white foam; however, they refuse to make any hypotheses.
As per early assessment, it is believed that the foam might be linked to a nearby detergent manufacturing factory that might have improperly discharged its industrial waste.
Meanwhile, the vice president of the Casablanca municipality, Ahmed Afilal, who is in charge of sanitation and liquid waste management, stressed that the incident is concerning and represents a serious risk to public health and the coastal environment.
