The dumping of plastics and food leftovers in the teppakulam of the Rockfort temple near the Main Guard Gate in Tiruchi continues to pollute the tank.
A school of dead fish have been found floating in the tank for the last few days due to continuous dumping of solid and food waste by the public and street vendors.
The teppakulam of Sri Thayumanaswamy Temple is being maintained by the Tiruchi Corporation and it carries out periodic maintenance to keep it neat and clean. However, it was said that for the last few days, stench had been emanating from the tank apparently due to the dead fish.
