Srinagar: The rampant filling of water body from Saida Kadal to Ashai Bagh in recent months especially after the deluge goes unabated.
Locals informed that the mushroom spread of motor workshops all along the banks of Nigeen lake are causing devastating effects to the entire ecology and there is continuous process of creating land mass deep into the lake on both sides.
The building structures and shopping lines are built in broad day light and right now several new houses are being constructed which are visible even to the common by passers. It is with utter surprise and despair to see how the authorities are ignoring or hoodwinking the vandalization of the lake, said locals.
They said that it seems as if LAWDA has been disbanded and it is free for all to fill up the water mass so brazenly.
The fact of the matter is that those at the helm of affairs in LAWDA are deep drenched in corrupt practices and their only objective is to mint money at the cost of this world heritage, they said.
They appealed to the newly elected Chief Minister to tight the noose against those involved in this heinous crime. (CNS)
