Probe Ordered for Chemical Waste in Krishna River
There was some bad-smelling chemical waste found in the Krishna River near a temple in Mattapally.
The minister in charge of water and rivers told the local leader to find out where it came from.
They think it might have come from another river called the Musi that joins the Krishna.
The waste was making people near the temple uncomfortable.
Chemical waste was found floating in the Krishna River near Mattapally, emitting a foul smell.
The waste caused inconvenience to devotees and local residents near the Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple.
Irrigation minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy ordered an inquiry into the incident.
The district collector was instructed to conduct a detailed investigation.
Officials suspect the waste may have entered the Krishna River through the Musi River.
