Thane resident Ramesh Sandbhor highlighted the issue on X (Which is formerly known as Twitter). While speaking to LokmatTimes.com, he said, “Due to extreme heat and smell of the dead fishes, residents are finding it difficult to live peacefully. Though the well is covered by a net, the smell is causing immense trouble to locals. TMC people should regularly check the wells in the city and take necessary precautions. Even mosquitoes have started to gather in the area in a lot of proportion.”
