When there is a fresh rain, even the solid effluents dumped in the open areas get washed into the lake, making it impossible for even fish to breathe, so they are choking to death, if not being poisoned by the toxicity that is growing in the lake," said Dr Purushottam Reddy, an environmental activist, referring to the shortage of rain in recent days.
Eega Laxman is one of 52 fishermen who has complete fishing lease rights for the 120-acre lake. They removed the dead fish which were found floating on Rampally Lake without any help from the government authorities.
Dr Reddy warns people that infected or poisoned fish may already be reaching the markets to be consumed by customers.So people beware!!
