Mysore/Mysuru: Groups of NSS volunteers from the University of Mysore have taken up the task of cleaning the Kukkarahalli Lake of water hyacinth and other invasive weeds that have intertwined with each other, thereby choking the Lake.
The picturesque lake provides much-needed lung space to the city and is dominated by water hyacinth (Eichornia). Conservationists say that the proliferation of water weeds in the Lake needs to be addressed for its sustainable conservation. They recommend periodic cleaning of the Lake and stopping the discharge of untreated sewage entirely.
