Dr. P Saravanan MD, MLA from Thiruparankundram Constituency, said, "Temple authority says it may be due to the lack of the oxygen and plastic in the pond. But I personally believe that if it happened suddenly, it creates suspicion. Water should be sent for analysis. The police personnel should investigate the matter."
The pond is situated at the famous Thiruparankundram Murugan Temple which is one of the six abodes of Lord Murugan, pristine for Tamilians. The temple is maintained and administered by the Hindu religion and endowment board of the state. It is located 8 kilometres from the city.
