Let the doctors of earth (geologists) treat the ailing Sukhna Lake—Dr Ritesh Arya. CHANDIGARH : Chandigarh—Sukhna Lake, the pristine beauty of the city is shrinking despite slew of initiatives by the Chandigarh Administration. Again the administration woke up to the problem and preparing management plan to save the lake. The plan has been divided in three terms- short, medium and long term. While talking to a renowned geologist and Guiness Book World Record holder Dr Ritesh Arya said, ”The efforts of the Administration to save the lake may delay its decay but will not stop its end. Creations and destructions are continuous geological events of nature. A number of known water bodies across the world have anished from the earth like Indus Valley and Saraswati. Even 19.5 km Khardungla in Leh has been receding since last glaciations.” Experts also say that the severity of soil erosion and weeds problem in Shivalik catchment was not well realized in time.
