The death of a large number of fish in the Orontes River in the Darkosh region due to suspected pollution resulting from the waste of textile mills. Details: The General Authority for Fish and Marine Resources announced that it is monitoring the death of large quantities of fish in the Orontes stream in the Darkosh area, and is working in coordination with the relevant authorities to determine the causes of death and the possible sources of contamination. The authority explained that the monitoring teams recorded, despite repeated warnings, the violations represented by the dumping of waste from several textile mills into the river bed, at the same time as the death of fish, which strengthens the suspicion of a connection between this waste and the incident, pending the completion of the statements and technical verification to determine the actual causes. The Authority stated that the relevant authorities are conducting field inspections of the fabric houses surrounding the river bed in order to verify their compliance with the legal and environmental requirements, and to identify sources of potential violations, while emphasizing that legal measures will be taken against the violators and that any party proven to be involved in the pollution of the stream will not be tolerated.
