It is to be mentioned here that, a large number of fishes had died in Kalyan Sagar Lake at Matabari.

Temple due to some unknown reason. In   the morning some villagers of Matabari GP saw some dead fishes floating in the lake.

He immediately instructed official of fishery department to look into the matter and find out the real cause of death of fishes. According to sources, the fishery department officials did not take the death of the fishes seriously. None of the officials of Fishery Department visited kalyan  Sagar Lake and tried to find out the real cause of the death of so many fishes.
