The spectral Green lake Mount Abu
Plummy the guardian looks down on the lake,
A mammoth whose forte is at stake
He’s perceived the birth of the lake,
A sheer human force, that put it together by sweat and rakes.
It’s a manmade lake, the largest artificial sparkling body ever made
Its beauty inspired the poets and the sages, and Plummy smiled
That smile has now grown into a scowl; the spangled lake now lies strangled
By the very humans who gave it its birth.
Nakki Lake one of the biggest manmade lakes is rapidly losing its grandeur. In spite of the wonderful parks and gardens surrounding the lake, the lakes banks are a sight for sore eyes, the stagnant water which has given the lake its unique green colour is littered with plastic bottles, plastic bags and a host of other debris. The stench at the moment is quite unbearable but by summer walking around this beautiful lake would be pure hell.
The municipality and the other government agencies are far too busy at the moment knocking down buildings to care two hoots for the lifeline that in dire drought supports the people of this town and the tourists that visit this oasis. A number of hotels and restaurants on the boundary of the lake should be monitored strictly to see that they do not dump their solid waste into the lake.
Over the years, thanks to corrupt and uncaring lake authorities, encroachers in nexus with authorities have practically legalized their encroachment through pressure. The health of the lake has reached an epidemic level. Tourism has played no less a role in contributing to the pollution and contamination of the lake. To read more on the condition of the lake read the blog I posted here.
