Summary:
Trichy: Thousands of fish were found floating dead in the Uyyakondan canal near Kuzhumayiamman temple here on Tuesday. They were mainly spotted before the sluice after the temple.This has been happening every year whenever there is fall in water flow in the canal. Observers suspect untreated discharge of sewage into the canal for the fish deaths.“Such incidents were reported in Palakarai and Azhwar Thoppu in the previous years. We could see growth of exotic weeds in the water in the last few days. This can reduce oxygen content in the water which may have resulted in the deaths..
