The Bihar government has issued a public advisory warning residents against consuming or selling 'unusual' fish species that have appeared in local water bodies following the Nepal floods.
Authorities are concerned that floodwaters may have transported non-native or potentially contaminated fish into the region, posing health risks to the local population.
Officials have urged citizens to report any sightings of unfamiliar aquatic life to local authorities and to avoid purchasing fish from unverified sources until further notice.
