On Saturday, locals gathered at the historic Suryakund Dham to protest against the ongoing fish deaths in its sacred waters, blaming the inaction of authorities for the crisis.

The demonstration was spearheaded by Amardeep, president of the Suryakund Dham Renovation Committee. He highlighted the alarming rate of fish deaths since October 29, while accusing officials of limiting their efforts to mere inspections without meaningful intervention.
