Work on the rejuvenation of the long-neglected Devanur Lake in Mysuru was launched by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) last week.
The ₹6 crore project included the construction of an embankment and fencing around the water body spread across 12.37 acres at a cost of ₹1 crore.
Former Minister Tanveer Sait, who is also the MLA of Narasimharaja assembly segment, and MUDA chairman Yashaswi Somashekar were present when the rejuvenation works were launched on Friday.
Mr. Somashekar told The Hindu that the MUDA will complete the works in the next six months.
While construction of an embankment and fencing around the lake will be taken up at a cost of ₹1 crore, work on removing silt and completing the construction of the storm-water drains will be executed at a cost of ₹5 crore.
MUDA’s Assistant Executive Engineer Shivanna said the project will ensure that the sewage water is diverted away from the lake towards the sewage treatment plant in Kesare.
