Srinagar, Nov 19: The University of Kashmir has constituted a high-level Working Group to promote ecological restoration of the famed Dal Lake in Srinagar.
Apart from top varsity academics and researchers, the 15-member Working Group—to be headed by Vice-Chancellor Prof Talat Ahmad—comprises heads of several government departments and universities in the J&K Union Territory which are, directly or indirectly, associated with restoration of Dal Lake. It also includes members from the civil society.
“A lot of research has been done and continues to be done in this university on Dal Lake. With this Working Group in place, we want to utilise the outcome of that research into policy-making concerning the ecological and scientific restoration of the Lake,” Prof Talat said.
