Chandigarh, February 26

Several fish were found dead at Sukhna Lake’s regulatory end, an official said on Monday.

A team of the UT animal husbandry and fishery department and the UT wildlife department visited the spot and took samples. Samples were sent to the zoology department of Panjab University for testing.

An official of the fishery department said similar situation was seen around two years ago also. Samples have been sent to the department to find out the reason and their species.

The official said they suspect during the full moon, some people as part of their “superstitious activities” throw fish in the lake at the night when the water was cold and the fish could not survive.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
