Thousands of dead fish have been found in the Yamuna River near Burari, north Delhi, since Wednesday night, raising alarms about water quality and possible industrial pollution. Wildlife experts suspect untreated industrial effluents and low oxygen levels. Hemant Garg, a conservationist, noted the fish deaths extend upstream. Locals report foul smell and similar incidents upstream in Haryana, prompting cleanup efforts to prevent further pollution.
