Pune's Mula River: Fish Deaths Linked to Pollution
Imagine a river in Pune, but instead of healthy fish, many are dead!
This is happening because the water is very polluted.
The pollution comes from untreated sewage and factories.
The water doesn't have enough oxygen, which is like fish not being able to breathe.
Experts say the city needs to stop the pollution at its source and clean the water before things get worse.
The government has been told to fix the problem, but the pollution continues and the fish are dying.
Hundreds of fish were found dead in Pune's Mula River.
Untreated sewage and industrial effluents are blamed for the fish kill.
Low oxygen levels in the water likely contributed to the deaths.
Environmental experts emphasize the need to address pollution at its source.
The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has issued directives to tackle pollution.
