Nearly 100 students and volunteers participated in an awareness rally and Korattur lake clean up initiative organised in the city on Monday to mark World Nature Conservation Day.
Students of Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research and volunteers from various areas took out a rally to create awareness on significance of restoring the water body and cleaned aquatic weeds in the lakebed. Volunteers also collected plastic waste strewn into the lake area, said S.Sekaran, KAPMI secretary.
The initiative was organised by the Korattur Aeri Padukappu Makkal Iyakkam, a citizens’ movement voicing for the protection of Korattur lake. It is one of a chain of water bodies linked to Madhavaram Retteri and a significant groundwater source.
