Video shows Arunachal river turning black killing thousands of fish; locals blame China

A river in Arunachal Pradesh suddenly turned black, killing thousands of fish. According to a further report by the news agency, officials warned people not to eat fish floating on the surface of the Kamon River. District officials pointed out that the reason for the blackening of the river in the East Kamon district was the high content of total dissolved substances (TDS).

Regional fisheries officials as saying that TDS can cause breathing problems for aquatic species. Officials further stated that due to the high TDS content, the visibility of underwater fish is also reduced. The TDS in the Kameng River is 6,800 milligrams per liter, which is much higher than the normal range of 300-1,200 milligrams per liter, said Hali Tajo, Regional Fisheries Development Officer (DFDO). At the same time, residents of Saipa Village where the incident occurred accused China, claiming that the TDS level had reached dangerous levels due to construction activities carried out by neighboring countries at the border.

Sepadong MLA Tapuk Taku called on the national government to immediately establish an expert committee to find out the cause of the sudden change in the color of the Kamon River and the death of a large number of fish. “If it lasts more than a few days, the aquatic life in the river will be completely wiped out,” PTI quoted him as saying. Earlier this week, India accepted the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) increased activities and intensified patrols in sensitive areas of the disputed border in Arunachal Pradesh.

The data obtained by the Hindustan Times shows that the Indian army found that the PLA has accelerated the pace of operations in Lungro La, Zimithang and Bum La, and these areas have historical significance in the context of China’s invasion of the east. The military further told HT that countermeasures had been taken. The military uses satellites, long-range drones, advanced radar networks, and high-tech night vision systems to monitor the activities of the PLA.

An official told the Hindustan Times that due to infrastructure development activities and a large number of excavators and bulldozers keeping the highway axles unblocked in the Lungro La, Zimithang and Bum La areas, monitoring found that the movement of vehicles increased. In 2017, a similar blackening incident was reported in the Siang River in Pasighat.

At that time, a member of Parliament of Tony Nong Ailin in Arunachal Pradesh wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asking him to intervene, claiming that this was the result of the construction of a 10,000-km-long tunnel in China. Divert the water from Siang to the Taklimakan Desert in Xinjiang.
