Local residents and anglers have discovered dozens of dead zander in Lake Ludza. The find has sparked fears of possible water pollution, as three weeks ago wastewater leaked from the city's treatment facilities into the water bodies.

Municipal authorities and environmental specialists indicate that the two incidents are most likely not connected. They are currently awaiting the results of analyses to determine the exact cause of the fish kill. Local fishermen urge a swift investigation to identify the reasons and mitigate any potential threats to the ecosystem.
