Srinagar, Aug 14: Chairman of the Nigeen Lake Conservation Organisation (NLCO) Manzoor Wangnoo today held a meeting with Mandeep Kaur, Secretary Housing and Urban Development Department (HU&DD), to discuss the pressing issues surrounding the restoration of Gilsar and Khushalsar, the twin urban lakes in Srinagar.
During the meeting, Wangnoo expressed his gratitude to the Secretary for her patient hearing and prompt responses to the challenges outlined. He presented a detailed memorandum highlighting the significant issues hindering the rejuvenation of these vital water bodies.
