Sukhna Lake Gets 10,000 New Fish Residents

In a proactive measure to bolster Sukhna Lake's delicate ecosystem, approximately 10,000 fish seeds were released into the water on Tuesday. This action precedes World Fish Migration Day, observed annually on May 23.

The stocking exercise introduced indigenous carp species, specifically rohu, catla, and mrigal. This initiative is designed as a strategic intervention to restore ecological balance within the lake.

Officials highlighted that the stocking would enhance water quality and fortify the lake's food chain. This is particularly crucial for migratory birds that rely on fish as a significant food source during their winter stays.
