The recent deluge in Chennai has completely battered whole life of Chennai. The city has to be restored and all works are being done. Now initially the 50 acre Perungudi lake was infected with sewage and plastic waste. Now Perungudi lake has got more attention.


Perungudi Lake Area Neighbourhood (PLAN) forum includes IT professionals, IIT professors, architects, businessmen, senior citizens and even a handful of school children. The cleaning up of lake has started last week. The forum themselves started the cleaning. But there were just 14 volunteers.


Regarding this, Perungudi's Kamaraj Nagar welfare association joint secretary P.Sajeevan said, "Initially we had just 14 volunteers. But as the word was sent across, neighbours and friends joined us and everyone were soon connected for the betterment. We got 60 volunteers with rakes and bleaching powders.


We are unable to clean the lake without clearing the human excreta. But our volunteers decided to clean it. We hope government will install gates manned by a security guard."
