In what is said to be a unique celebration of 75th year of India’s Independence, the national tricolour will be hoisted in the environs of 19 lakes across Mysuru district on August 15 that have been rejuvenated under ‘Amrit Sarovar’, an initiative of giving new lease of life to dying lakes as part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav.
The Zilla Panchayat in Mysuru was given the target of rejuvenating 79 lakes by December this year. The task was entrusted to the ZP in April and nearly 19 lakes have been rejuvenated in a short span of time. The environs of these lakes are sporting a new look because of the restoration and tree planting and are now ready for the special I-Day celebrations on Monday.
