Answer:
Over the years, people in general and Kashmir media in particular have debated the future of Dal lake thread bare. The regulating authority however claims that all accusations are not founded on facts. Hamidullah Dar reports.
People in general and environmentalists in particular decry that Dal lake is dying while concerned authorities watch the perish sitting inside their offices. The authorities, however, disagree. They maintain that scarcely any news depicts the efforts that are ‘underway not only to save the famous lake from extinction but also to beautify it further’.
Lakes and Waterways Development Authority (LAWDA), the agency responsible for development and preservation of the lake, says that it has several programmes in hand to bring back the lost glory of Dal. Top most priority is given to stop sewerage flow into the lake besides relocation of lake dwellers.
“The problem of pollution is taken head on by reducing it to the minimum possible level. We have installed three sewerage treatment plants at Lam, Hazratbal and Habak. We lay pipes to collect the sewerage from neighbourhoods along the shores of the lake to prevent it from mixing with the waters of Dal,” says Ashok Kumar Koul, Superintendent Engineer at LAWDA.
Encroached over decades, Dal has been shrinking in area. Revenue records state that 6000 families were putting up in Dal in 1986. The numbers have been growing ever since.
