Under the Delhi Government’s ambitious City of Lakes project, the Delhi Jal Board is transforming the Indian capital, globally infamous for toxic air, into a city of lakes. It has given Delhi 14 new lakes and 35 water bodies over a span of five-six years in neighbourhoods such as Sanoth, Pappankala, Rajokri, Burari and Bhalaswa, among others. Next, they are moving to Naraina and Rohini and a few other nearby areas, converting dump yards into scenic landscapes. Besides improving the aesthetics of the city and reviving public spaces, the project is increasing water tables and bringing birds back too. Watch ThePrint Ground report by Sonal Matharu.
