For whatever reason, the sewage did not come in today since morning! Perhaps because it didn't rain? Lull before the storm? How much worse can it get? The fish are struggling and large numbers have been coming to the surface of the water because the dissolved oxygen is depleting quickly. A few have already died.

This continues to be very worrying situation. Our heart goes out to the BBMP workers who are clearing the grills of the silt traps and the muck in the wetland.
