Lost Delhi Lake Identified; Restoration Possible

Lost Lake Resurfaces on Old Maps, Sparking Revival Hopes

A historical lake, nearly two miles long, has been identified on 19th and 20th century maps of North Delhi by the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (Intach).

• The lake spanned areas now known as Qadipur and Nagli-Puna.
• Intach has appealed to the Delhi Lieutenant Governor and DDA to revive a 10-acre depression still visible via satellite.
• A 24-hectare biodiversity park could be created on available public land, according to Intach.
• Local residents confirm a persistent waterlogged area exists, despite extensive construction.
