According to the head of the Department, the cause of this phenomenon may be because there has been no rain in the past few months, the water added to the lake is completely waste water, plus the weather.

Many people living around the lake said that in recent days, the number of dead fish on Thien Quang Lake suddenly increased. Every day, the environmental workers team also picked up the fish but not because it was picked up today, tomorrow, the fish body will be completely sealed to the corners of the lake.

Especially the monsoon makes fish drifting everywhere, stinking, most concentrated in the area near the Cultural House Students and students, the section adjacent to the intersection of Quang Trung-Nguyen Du, Quang Trung junction- Tran Nhan Tong…

According to cleaning workers here, the amount of dead fish is estimated at several hundred kilograms. By the afternoon of March 7, the fish were still alive and dense at the crossroads of Quang Trung-Nguyen Du, but most of them were very weak, constantly yawning like lack of oxygen.

Thien Quang Lake currently has 7 sewers but is only used to discharge domestic wastewater into the lake, not to drain the water, so the lake often stagnates causing pollution.
