After the inspection was done, Mrs. Bedi asked the PWD to clean the bund of the lake. Rural community was also involved in planting saplings along the bund and the forest department helped in the task.
To prevent pollution in the area, Bedi requested the administration to declare the region a vehicle-free zone that will also help in preserving the locality’s serenity. Tourism department has now been asked to make signage and launch paddle boat services in the lake. Women SHGs and Ponlait (Pondicherry Cooperative Milk Producers’ Union Ltd) are given the responsibility of serving refreshments in the region.
