Little Girl’s Initiative To Clean Dal Lake Impresses Many Including Prime Minister Narendra Modi

A little girl from Kashmir is leading the way for others to follow and clean up the Dal Lake. She urges everyone, “Dal Lake cannot get polluted, we all have to do something to save it.”

Little Girl’s Initiative To Clean Dal Lake Impresses Many Including Prime Minister Narendra Modi

New Delhi: Dal Lake is Srinagar’s jewel that is depleting because of multiple reasons like indiscriminate sewage disposal, encroachments and growth of weeds. The blot is so stark against the picturesque view of the Dal that even a child cannot ignore it. A video of a little girl from Kashmir highlighting the plight of the Dal and why people need to act has gone viral recently on social media platforms. In the short video, the girl says, “Today, I and my father did a little bit of cleaning of the lake. We found a lot of garbage, but just me doing the cleaning of Dal Lake will not be enough. Dal Lake is one of the best things we have, we all should come forward and do our best to preserve its beauty.”

In fact, little girl’s swachhta message and her spirit even impressed Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who shared her video on his Twitter and added,

Hearing this little girl will make your morning even better! Great passion towards Swachhata.

The video of the girl ends with an equally pertinent message, “Dal Lake is one of the best things we have. It needs to be cleaned, it cannot get polluted. I am urging children to come forward and start cleaning our very own Dal Lake – Dal ko saaf rakhiye (keep the Dal Lake clean).”

From August to October, around nine lakh cubic metres of weeds have been removed from the lake, rendering a large area of the lake weed free. But the fact is that the lake has been polluted and damaged extensively with tonnes of garbage being dumped regularly.

But swachh warriors like this little girl give hope that all may not be lost yet in the battle to save the Dal.
