Location

Pumlenpat is the second largest lake in Manipur after the Loktak Lake, situated about 68 kilometres (42 mi) south of Imphal (the capital of Manipur, a state in North East India) and about 45 kilometres (28 mi) from Thoubal. Just as Loktak Lake, the people situated around this lake depend on fishery products for their livelihood. The lake plays an important role in the lives of the population of the towns nearby. There are plenty of small islands on this lake; people started settling on these islands, and the lake is now on the verge of extinction due to human encroachment.^{[citation needed]}
