Answer 2

The correct answer for your question is NO.

There is no increase in the number of lakes in Chennai.  

As per the reports, there were nearly 3,600 lakes sustained across the premises of Chennai, Kanchipuram and Tiruvallur. Now most of them were abducted by flats and apartments. Chennai had become one of the most important and hottest places for real estate marketing just right in the beginning of 21st century. Chennai kept extending its area since the year 2000 and it keeps extending. Almost it has gobbled its own lakes and pond in the name of development. The report is highlighting that there is almost 600 lakes were gone from the count of 3,600 because of the developmental progresses.
