Lake in south-west Chennai, India
Body of water
There are four filters working 24x7 to pump water to K. K. Nagar double tank distribution point.[citation needed] Bathing, washing and/or swimming is currently prohibited in this lake from 1995.[citation needed] A better view of the lake can be appreciated from the Chennai bypass.[citation needed]
In 2012, the Water Resources Department initiated a project to increase the capacity the tank along with two other lakes in the city at a cost of ₹ 130 crore. This would deepen the lake by at least 1 m and increases the capacity to 70 mcft.[1][2]
History
The lake was home to a large number of residential settlements prior to 2006, when the Government of Tamil Nadu ordered the demolition of these settlements as a part of its lake restoration initiative. The demolitions forced the eviction of about 10,700 families, some of whom were relocated to sites as far as Collector Nagar,
located in the Tiruvallur District, and Nallur, located in the Kancheepuram District.[3]
