Dying Sukhna Lake.... - a photo on Flickriver

            Situated at Shivalik Foothills in Lower Himalayas in Chandigarh this lake is dying because of excessive silt and weeds...Efforts are on to revive this precious wetland which is home to a variety of migratory birds....Mercifully, last season Rain gods smiled on the lake....
