The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) recently held a lecture headlined ‘Lakes of Thane’, appealing to citizens to help in lake preservation. This is part of its ‘Thought Leadership Lecture Series’. The speaker rightly highlighted the responsibility of preserving and protecting Thane lakes for current and future generations. The speaker pointed out that currently, 42 lakes still exist. She discussed the different types of lakes, signs of healthy and unhealthy lakes, and the importance of lakes in the ecological food chain.

Most importantly, the audience needs to take care of these lakes and stay aware of their condition. Within that, it is worth thinking about that there have been warnings against throwing waste, fish, or food into lakes, as it harms the ecosystem.
