My recent visit to dal lake was fabulous ans mesmerizing. The lake is total in 22square km and the shikaras in it makes more attractive. But now a days people who live around dal lake are filling this wetland for illegal construction. The authorities of conversation of wetlands are trying there best to stop illegal acts.
However from last one decade the dal lake is getting more and more polluted if we look from dal gate end there are polythene bags, wine bottles, junk food wrappers etc in it. This beautiful lake of srinagar has become a dumping site and people living in houseboats have contructed toilets in it that has changed its PH level which leads to extinction of marine life as water becomes more acidy.
