Local MLA Mr Roshan Baig conducted an inspection around the lake. Tenders have been called for to build pedestrian path around the lake, bridge construction, painting for grills etc and work will start as soon as the process is over.

During October a program has been taken up to clean all weeds and partheniums and to plant about 300 saplings on a single day.

Request was made to the government to deploy more Homeguards around the lake as a lot of Senior citizens come there for walk both in the morning and evening.
