BENGALURU: Occupants of PSI Sevagram, a home for elderly Christian priests in Chettupalya near Kengeri, were shocked to see their private well covered with dead fish. Just three days ago, the well was full of thriving Tilapia fish.
The reason, they said, was overflowing sewage from a broken line, complaints about which have not been attended to by authorities concerned for more than two years. The sewage has been contaminating waterbodies in the vicinity, including Konnasandra Lake. “We had between 500 and 600 fish and all the big ones have died. We filled two large buckets and they amounted to 250 dead fish. Now, only the small ones are left,” Father Jose Kokkandathil told TOI.
