Mysterious death of thousands of fish in the Lotus Pond in Banjara Hills over the past four days has raised serious concerns about possible pollution in the lake famed for its idyllic beauty amid the hubbub of the metropolis.
Lotus Pond is one among the very few water bodies in the city which have preserved their pristine nature and been home to a variety of birds and biodiversity.
However, for the past four days, local residents and small vendors have been complaining of death of fish en masse with no apparent reason.
