Pollution: Cause of dead fish in Juhu Beach Mumbai?

Thousands of dead fish have been washed up on to Mumbai's famous Juhu beach which is a popular recreation centre of the highly polluted commercial capital of India. Fisheries Scientists are conducting tests to determine the cause of this unhappy invasion.

What is clearly known is that India is a highy polluted country and Mumbai is a city with a population nearly about to burst at its seams. With rapid industrial development that is so very vital to create jobs and maintain the pace of economic growth, it is not always easy to keep 'sustainable devlopment' on top of the agenda.

A concerted effort is required from the developed countries to help developing countries reduce poulltion without compromising on enconomic growth. The use of alternative fuel and clean energy such as Liquefied petroleum Gas or LPG in both the commercial and domestic sectors in India will bear long term favourable results. But with the present trends of global warming and unpredictable weather patterns the urgency for action has to become the top priority.
