A technical team collected the samples of pond water, fishes and feed and sent these to Pokhara for lab test. The samples were later sent to Central Veterinary Laboratory, Tripureshwor, for further test and National Forensic Science Lab, Lalitpur, for pesticide test.
Meanwhile, preparation has been made to perform forgiveness worship coming Monday after fishes in the ponds continued perishing.
