LAKE MENACE
THANE’S lakes are now giving residents of
the city much reason for worry. The accumulating filth
in the lakes and on their banks is unhygienic and
poses many serious health issues for the people.
Speaking
about the issue, Prakash Berde said, “The Jail
Talao, opposite the RTO is one such lake where the water
is bad. The ambe Gosawi lake. Where the Abhiruchi hotel
was, is actually two lakes – the Ambe and the
Gowsawi. The Ambe lake was filed with rubbush and solidified.”
He
added, “We do have a drum at the Upvan lake, where
all the puja material that is deposited is supposed
to be taken away. We clean that twice a week or so but
it is not enough. We will make sure that it will be
cleaned within ten or 15 days.”
Berde
has also requested people using the lake for their puja
purposes to intimate the TMC so that special arrangements
for the clean up can be made. |
