Hundreds of dead starfish wash ashore at Goa's Caranzalem beach

Scores of dead starfish washed ashore at Caranzalem beach in Panaji situated near the mouth of River Mandovi. The locals said that the starfish could have perished due to the muddy water that was the result of heavy rains in the area. Sea water turned muddy after a rainy spell in the state. Locals were also baffled with the sight of the dead starfish as such an event had not been seen in the last few years. The spot where the dead starfish washed was not very far away from the popular Miramar beach.
