New Delhi: Questions have once again arisen regarding the cleanliness and quality of water of Yamuna River in Delhi. A large number of fish have been found dead in Yamuna river near Wazirabad bridge in Sonia Vihar. Its video is becoming increasingly viral on social media. In the video, many dead fish are seen in the river water. After the incident, concern has increased regarding pollution in Yamuna and safety of aquatic creatures.
The special thing is that electric cruise service was started on Yamuna river in this area only two days ago. In such a situation, the incident of death of fish has sparked a new debate on the quality of river water.
AAP worker cited contaminated water as the reason
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) worker Mahesh Arya, while releasing the video of this incident, has expressed the fear of releasing contaminated water into Yamuna. They allege that every year, during the release of water from Hathnikund Barrage into Yamuna, polluted water from a leather factory also reaches the river. This results in the death of a large number of fish.
Mahesh Arya has demanded an impartial investigation into the matter and testing of Yamuna water samples in a lab. However, the actual cause of death of the fish has not been officially confirmed yet.
Pravesh Verma's allegation – dead fish were deliberately thrown into the river
Delhi Government's Water Minister Pravesh Verma has targeted Aam Aadmi Party and Arvind Kejriwal in this matter. He termed it a conspiracy to spoil the atmosphere.
According to Pravesh Verma, officials have informed him that some people have deliberately thrown dead fish into Yamuna. He alleged that before the Chhath festival, attempts are being made to influence the religious sentiments of the people and spoil the atmosphere.
The reason for the death of fish will be revealed only after investigation
At present two different claims have emerged regarding the death of fish in Yamuna. On one hand, contaminated water is being said to be the reason, while on the other hand it has been termed as a conspiracy. Now the real reason behind the incident will become clear only through scientific investigation of water samples and administrative investigation.
