The cleanliness initiative of Dal Lake is in full swing in Srinagar. The drive was suspended last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Lakes and Waterways Development Authority (LAWDA) has taken the initiative to clean Dal Lake in Srinagar.
As part of the “Azadi Ka Amrut Mahotsav” campaign, the State Disaster Response Force in association with Lakes And Waterways Development Authority recently began a one-month-long cleanness initiative in Dal Lake.
Approximately 100 SDRF staff and ten powerboats were deployed for this ambitious drive.
Dr Bashir Ahmad Bhat, VC, LAWDA, said, We’ve deployed 15-16 more machines. Along with high-tech tools, we have also resorted to the manual disinfection method.
