An official handout said he was informed that five machines, imported from US and Switzerland, along with old machines have been put into service to clean unwanted weed in the Lake, however, owing to magnitude of the weed, the augmentation of the machineries has become necessary.

“While reviewing the re-location of Dal dwellers, Tara Chand directed that remaining structure in Karpora, Doldemb and Moti Mahal need to be removed in a time bound manner. He asked officers to pay the land and structure compensation to the affected families to make their rehabilitation easy,” the handout added.
He emphasized for beautification of the lake banks by way of planting flowers and perennial plants to make it more attractive.
Tara Chand also directed officers to lift the extracted weeds from the road immediately without allowing it to pile up for next day on roads besides laying of tiles on the footpaths. He asked the LAWDA officers to “show substantial progress on all these areas.”
