Hindustan TimesThe Naini Lake, a small waterbody located in residential Model Town in north Delhi, is set for a major revamp under a ₹10.7 crore project by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, officials aware of the redevelopment project said. Currently, the lake is fed by borewells using groundwater, but we will be making arrangement to bring treated water from Delhi Jal Board’s Coronation Pillar sewage treatment plant in Timarpur to supply water for this lake,” said a senior MCD official from Keshavpuram zone, where the waterbody is located. Besides the supply of groundwater, the civic body will also be undertaking beautification of the lake area with addition of 7,000 new species of plants, new walkways, designer boundary walls, benches, musical fountains and basic infrastructure such as the peripheral stormwater drain, officials said. The rejuvenation of Naini Lake is part of the ₹99.35 crore project to revive and develop 38 waterbodies maintained by MCD and DJB in the national capital, under the central government-funded Amrit Sarovar mission.
