Delhi Heatwave Crisis: Hundreds Of Fish Found Dead In Sanjay Lake - Video

Delhi: Delhi continues to reel under intense heat and severe heatwave conditions, with temperatures reaching 45 degrees Celsius. Not only humans, but also animals and fish are struggling to cope with the extreme weather.

A similar scene has emerged from Sanjay Lake, located in Delhi’s Mayur Vihar area, highlighting the deadly impact of the heat.

Hundreds of fish, both large and small, have reportedly died in the artificial lake and were seen floating on the surface. The deaths are believed to have been caused by depleting water levels and rising temperatures.

Reportedly, the water level in Sanjay Lake has been steadily decreasing over the past 10 days. The intense heat in Delhi is also believed to be a major reason for this decrease.

Notably, Delhi recorded its warmest May night in 14 years on 21 May, with the minimum temperature at Safdarjung station reaching 31.9°C, five degrees above normal.
