Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir), Oct 12 (ANI): Lakes and Waterways Development Authority (LAWDA) of Kashmir has started a massive mission to clean Dal Lake ahead of winter tourism. LAWDA has put its latest machinery and men into forces for this cleaning drive. The manual cleaning of the lake also provides employment to hundreds of dwellers. “We are trying to keep it clean as tourists are coming from other states. We are fully prepared; machines are working to clean the lake. I would like to urge people to come to Kashmir, we welcome them,” said Syed Tariq, Works Supervisor, LAWDA. The mission, therefore, aims to clear weeds like lily pads, creepers, algae, water plants, and other waste material present in the water body which hamper the movement of Shikara and affect the overall aesthetic beauty of the lake.
