Mass fish die-off at Sanjay Lake during Delhi's 2026 heatwave

The aftermath of a major fish mortality event at Sanjay Lake in Trilokpuri, New Delhi, India, during May 2026. Large numbers of dead fish, including tilapia, carp, and mosquitofish, are visible along the shoreline and in shallow water. The footage shows severely reduced water levels, stagnant pools, and exposed sections of the lake bed affected by extreme drying. Cracked mud and receding water illustrate the environmental stress caused by prolonged heat and evaporation. Reports linked the incident to a combination of record high temperatures, declining water inflow, and reduced dissolved oxygen levels in the lake. The video records the ecological impacts of a severe urban freshwater crisis. #SanjayLake #DelhiHeatwave #FishKill #EnvironmentalCrisis #UrbanWetlands #NewDelhi #WaterConservation #ClimateImpact #Ecology #IndiaDocumentary Sanjay Lake, Trilokpuri Delhi, fish die-off, Delhi heatwave 2026, urban wetland crisis, lake ecosystem, dead fish Delhi, water depletion, environmental impact India, freshwater ecology India This footage is part of the broadcast stock footage archive of Wilderness Films India Ltd., the largest HD and 4K collection from South Asia.
