Fish died of chlorine concentrates
Following up press reports of January 23 that swarms of dead fish were spotted in the Hrazdan River, RA Ministry of Nature Protection stated today that preliminary water samples from the affected site show traces of active chlorine.
The Ministry says that the chemical could have destroyed the fish and over aquatic animals. The case has been sent to the RA Police Department's regional office in Kotayk for a follow-up investigation.
Talking to A1+, Ministry's senior representative Artsrun Pepanyan, said the river is already cleansed off chlorine concentrates which are already harmless.
Artsrun Pepanyan couldn't say how many fish had died because of the pollution.
