Dead fish surface in Malad lake, locals blame industries

Farmers and residents of Malad village in Daund tehsil are concerned about the dumping of industrial waste into Malad lake, which has resulted in the death of thousands of fish. The villagers claim that the water quality has deteriorated, affecting biodiversity and soil quality. They have been suffering from health issues, such as kidney stones and skin diseases, due to the contaminated water. Despite multiple complaints, the issue has not been resolved by the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) and the state pollution control board. The matter has been raised by MP Supriya Sule with the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) in hopes of finding a solution.
