Soon, lakes in western suburbs will attract birdwatchers

Chennai | Sunday | 15th July, 2018

Summary:

Workers are involved in building cement concrete blocks on the Korattur lake’s bund slope to prevent erosion on the lines of Porur lake. The Water Resources Department has expedited work on turning three large water bodies into eco-restoration spots. Silt removed from the water bodies would be used to strengthen the bund and also provide islands, an official said. To popularise birdwatching in these water bodies, the department now plans to add more bird nesting islands. Work is on full swing to complete the walkers’ track on the 3-km long bund in Korattur and Ambattur lakes..
