Sad Story of Khajjir Lake


I am dying and drying! SAVE ME: Sad story of Khajjir Lake
In the lap of lofty snow-clad mountains of Himachal Pradesh, there are myriad lakes with cool and serene water, which mirror the immense beauty of this paradise on the earth. Khajjir lake is one of the very famous lake and also known as Mini Switzerland of India. This lake is located in district Chamba. But these days this is in very worse condition. This lakes is the tourist source of millions people. By the human interference and unmanaged and uncontrolled human activities this lake is drying now. Following is the self story of the lake in their own words (Sanjeev word)
THINK AND SAVE ME
I was very famous, surrounding by long and beautiful deodar trees.
People have taken holy bath and worshiped me
I have lot of natural, crystal clear water,
People used me for boating,
Grasses dancing in the lake, moving around me.
I was compared with Mini Switzerland
Peole become rich (crorerpati) due to me
I am providing source of livelihood for many people
Peoples come for peace and enjoying
BUT NOW
Now horses and livestocks moving around me
Small insects and flys are increasing day by day
Human beings exploiting me more and more
Tourist hit me by throwing bottles and waste
I am filled with animals garbage
Water is drying and dirty now
Peoples are going away from me
Now people are naming me as Golf Ground
Construction of buildings and hotels are increasing
No body care me today
I have given many things
But today the condition of my self is in front of you
Come and Save me So that I can give you More
Now every day I am Crying---------for my grief
Please SAVE ME SAVE ME SAVE ME
