Powai lake reopens after renovation

Following the completion of the project,the Powai lake side will have a 2-km long jogging track-cum-walkway,musical fountains,children’s play area and park. Even after beautifying the surroundings of the lake,the civic body is yet to take up the actual cleaning of the lake water.

The place was inaugurated by Mayor Shraddha Jadhav and Shiv Sena executive Uddhav Thackeray. However,the controversy surrounding the 400 per cent cost escalation still remains. The cost of the project shot up from Rs 8 crore to Rs 34 crore. Even after this,officials said that a part of the walkway was yet to be completed.
