History
Under the project by Gujarat Urban Development Corporation, treated sewage water was to be drained in the lake. But the sewage water was drained untreated in the lake.[2]
In January 2019, the Mehsana Municipality appointed a consultant to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) for the development of the lake. The DPR proposed a cost of ₹11.99 crore (US$1.2 million) for the project.[3] The municipality allotted ₹1 crore (US$100,000) and ₹3 crore (US$310,000) respectively for the development of lake in 2019-20 and 2020-21 budgets respectively.[4] The Government of Gujarat approved ₹11.5 crore (US$1.2 million) for the development of lake in 2022 under Amrit Lake scheme.[1] The development work started in March 2024.[5]
