Residents Revitalize Kapra Lake in Hyderabad
People in Hyderabad are working together to make Kapra Lake clean and healthy again.
They started a group called KLRG to take care of the lake.
They stopped people from throwing garbage and flowers into the water.
The group got official permission to do more work.
They have a worker who cleans the lake and talks to the city officials about problems.
They also plan to have a big cleanup day where many volunteers will help remove dirt from the lake.
The lake used to have more water, but now it has less because of roads and buildings.
The group is trying to fix these problems too.
Residents and volunteers are actively working to restore Kapra Lake in Hyderabad.
The Kapra Lake Revival Group (KLRG) formally registered as a trust on January 25 to scale up their efforts.
KLRG has appointed a full-time worker to manage waste and prevent dumping in the lake.
The group operates four WhatsApp groups to address daily concerns and escalate issues to authorities.
KLRG plans to organize a 'desilting festival' with 1,000 volunteers to remove silt from the lakebed.
