Dead Fish Found in Yamuna's Sonia Vihar Stretch Amid Pollution Concerns and Political Dispute
A video showing numerous dead fish in the Yamuna near Delhi's Sonia Vihar area has raised concerns about water pollution, though the cause remains unconfirmed. Locals blame polluted water from a nearby leather tannery, while Delhi Water Minister Parvesh Verma accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of staging the incident by placing dead fish in the river to defame the government. Experts suggest industrial pollution and toxic discharges as possible causes, emphasizing the need for investigation and water-quality testing.
