The Shing Mun River tributary in Fo Tan turned bright blue on Sunday.
This is the second time the river has been in the headlines this month. Earlier in December, a large quantity of dead fish washed up on the banks of a tributary near Tai Wai.
According to Apple Daily (translated byHKFP), some residents are concerned that the fish massacre and violent colour change could be caused by illegal discharge of industrial waste, given the tributary’s proximity to the Fo Tan industrial zone.
