Other than clearing the channels, a pathway for people to walk around the lake will be built and a running track will be laid after the slum dwellers move to permanent houses. The place will look completely different once all that is finished.
This project has been in the pipelines for long, and the much needed de-clogging of the water channels into the lake will happen right after the encroachment is cleared.
They need to clear out the area fast, because the lake needs to be renovated asap, because right now its so clogged up that even water is not being able to flow into it
Yes these encroachments were supposed to have cleared out much earlier, in 2010 only. But the slum dwellers had backed out then because the apartments had sunk 40cm and the buildings had tilted.
Yes thats true. Corporation and slum clearance board officials met few days back and decided to shift slum dwellers to new apartment buildings at Ammankulam by the end of October.
