The India Post, Chandigarh, 19th May, 2009 :Taking care of the requirement of the people of southern sectors of the city, the Chandigarh Administration had developed this lake at Sector-42 as a place of relaxation and recreation to the residents.  This man made lake, like any other artificially created water body, requires regular cleaning up periodically as silt starts to deposit with time along with aquatic algae of other unwanted growth or other unwanted growth, thereby resulting in foul smell, if not removed in time.Therefore, Chandigarh Administration is undertaking the process of cleaning the New Lake which will involve removal of lake impurities by completely drying it up and the refilling of lake with fresh water.  This will take around 15-20 days.
General public through this press note is requested to bear with the inconvenience during this maintenance activity at the lake.
