Residents’ association wants Selaiyur lake to be rejuvenated
The Water Resources Department (WRD) started the drive to clear encroachments from Chitlapakkam lake amid protests on Friday.
The exercise to demarcate Chitlapakkam lake’s boundary was started near Periyar Street. However, residents protested against demolition for a few hours.
Officials said portions of houses built near the waterbody were identified as encroaching into the lake area in Periyar Street. Steps were taken to clear the 14 encroachments and demarcate the water body’s boundary.
