MP Supriya Sule reviews progress of water hyacinth removal at Pune's Katraj Lake

Supriya Sule, Member of Parliament from Baramati, recently paid a visit to Katraj Lake in Pune, which falls under her jurisdiction, to evaluate the ongoing efforts in clearing the water hyacinth.

During her visit, she saw that a large amount, around 80 per cent, of the water hyacinth in the lake had been taken out. They are still working on removing the rest. Because of this, there are now fewer mosquitoes, and the people living nearby are very happy about it.

आपल्या बारामती लोकसभा मतदारसंघातील कात्रज पुणे येथील कात्रज तलावाला भेट देऊन पाहणी केली. या तलावातील जवळपास ८० टक्के जलपर्णी काढण्यात आली असून, उर्वरित जलपर्णी काढण्याचे काम सुरू आहे. त्यामुळे डासांचा प्रादुर्भाव देखील कमी झाला आहे. pic.twitter.com/sYwWLCtafc
