The famous Dalpat Sagar lake in the district headquarters here which was an example of environment conservation measures, is dying a slow death.The lake’s water sample was taken for laboratory examination by the officials of the Chhattisagarh Pollution Control Board (CPCB) who found the water to be polluted.
The Board authorities had also served several notices to the municipal authorities while stating that the water accumulating in the lake is from the drainage water from across Jagdalpur city.A CPCB official informed here that the Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) in the lake is far higher than the standard limits.
