Floodwaters Bring Unusual Catch to Bihar, But What's Really at Stake? The recent floods in Nepal have brought an unexpected influx of unusual fish into Bihar's Gandak river and its floodplains.
The state government has issued a safety advisory warning residents not to consume or sell these mysterious catches until their identity and safety are confirmed.
The advisory highlights the risks associated with consuming fish that have been swept away by floods and carried over considerable distances, potentially coming into contact with contaminated drains, dead animals, and other pollutants.
