The second phase of the project to renovate the Gundur lake, one of the biggest in Tiruchi district, to attract native and migratory birds will begin soon.
Spread over 544 acres, the lake situated on the Tiruchi-Pudukottai National Highway has about 25 man-made islands in different shapes with bird-friendly infrastructure. The project is being executed by Mega Foundations with the financial contribution of Herbalife International. It is estimated that it would cost ₹46 lakh for the complete makeover of the lake.
The restoration drive, which was launched in September 2023, was completed in January and is the NGO’s 177th project.
