Revamp of Bhalswa lake becomes new flashpoint between L-G, Delhi govt

Responding to this, Bharadwaj, who is also the chairman of Delhi Jal Board, said, “The L-G is taking false credit for cleaning Bhalswa lake where work is going on since January 2022…”

L-G Secretariat called it “unfortunate, baseless and bereft of facts” and said that Saxena visited the Bhalswa lake on October 15 last year and after finding it in a pathetic condition, he directed DDA to take over the lake.

“That’s when cleaning work actually started,” the official said.
