Stating this here today, Pawan Kumar, Deputy Director, Fisheries Department, said that due to the ongoing breeding season there has been increase in number of fish in the lake but due to current humid weather conditions there is a low concentration of dissolved oxygen level in the lake water, which seems to be the probable cause of fish being found dead.
