”To make Arvind Kejriwal’s Delhi a city of lakes, I took stock of the work being done to restore and beautify Sannoth Lake. With lakhs of liters of treated water daily, the dried-up Sannoth Lake is being transformed into one of the most beautiful picnic spots of Delhi,” Sisodia said in a tweet in Hindi.
He added that this project would also address Delhi’s water shortage issue.
”Fifty such lakes that have lost their identity are being restored and this will enable recharge of groundwater and also address the problem of water shortage. Once this project is completed, Delhi will be able to come here with their families and marvel at the beauty,” Sisodia tweeted.
