Large number of fish found dead in irrigation tank near Tirupattur town
A large number of fish were found dead in the irrigation tank, which is maintained by the Public Works Department (PWD), at Bommikuppam village near Tirupattur town on Thursday, primarily due to depletion in the oxygen level in the water. Officials of the Department of Fisheries said that most of the fish that were found dead in the tank was Jalebi fish (zoological name: Tilapia fillets). The fish is a common variety from fresh and brackish water bodies. As per estimates, over 50 kg of fish were removed from the tank by the department on Thursday. 'The tank is a key water source for irrigation in the village. Many civic bodies have also dug bore wells around the tank to pump water for domestic consumption. Such sudden death of fishes should be probed and the tank should be cleaned,' said V. Ramu, a resident. Residents and local fishermen alerted the panchayat and Fisheries Department officials after noticing the fish floating along the tank bund. The officials removed the dead fish and collected samples to find the cause of death. Residents said unauthorised discharge of sewage into the tank might also be a major reason for the depletion of oxygen-level in the water, resulting in the death of the fish. Spread over 80 acres, the tank is around 40 feet deep and a lifeline for farmers and residents for irrigation and domestic consumption. At present, the entire tank has been used to cultivate fish for commercial purposes. Revenue generated from auctioning, which is done once in three years, of the lake for fishing goes to the civic body to provide basic facilities in the town. Catla fish, varying from two to four feet, forms the major fish variety. On an average, three tonnes each of major varieties like Catla and Jalebi are netted every year and sold in the local market and in big towns like Tirupattur, Jolarpet, Ambur, Vaniyambadi and Gudiyatham Apart from irrigating more than 1,200 acres of farmland in the area, the tank also helps to provide drinking water to the village residents

(AP Photo/Anjum Naveed) MALAL, Pakistan (AP) — Bulls are yoked together by thick wooden frames in a sun-scorched field of rural Pakistan, while behind them, holding onto nothing more than ropes and his honor, is a man on a plank. Hundreds of spectators whoop and cheer as the animals begin to hurtle down a track, whipping up a storm of dust and imminent danger. Advertisement This is bull racing, Punjabi style. The traditional sport captures the raw energy of village life and is a world away from the floodlit cricket and hockey stadiums found in many Pakistani cities. Bull racing has deep roots in the Attock district of eastern Punjab province. It is more than just a sport there, it is a part of the region's living heritage. In the village of Malal, one of bull racing's most vibrant hubs, hundreds of people gather every year to witness the spectacle. Jockeys crouch behind the animals on a plank, gripping onto some reins and relying on experience and instinct to triumph. Advertisement But there's always a chance for chaos as it's common for the bulls to throw the jockey off his platform and drag him through the dirt. 'This isn't just entertainment, it's tradition,' said Sardar Haseeb, whose family has been holding races for generations. 'We take pride in our animals. Farmers and landowners raise their bulls year round just for this moment. People are willing to pay high prices for a winning bull. It becomes a symbol of pride.' The bull race creates a festive atmosphere, complete with dancing and banknotes thrown into the air — a celebratory practice normally seen at weddings. The scent of freshly fried sweets rises from hot pans to lure the crowds. Stallholders prepare roasted chickpeas and other delicacies. The hustle and bustle becomes a source of income for enterprising locals, who benefit from the cultural event. Advertisement More than 100 bulls competed in the event that Haseeb hosted, with people traveling from across Pakistan to be part of the race. Among the competitors was farmer Muhammad Ramzan. 'My bull came in fifth place and I'm thrilled,' he said. 'It left 95 others behind.' ___ This is a photo gallery curated by AP photo editors.
