Residents of KR Puram village remember the lake in their vicinity as a brimming water body at one point in time. But the once-abundant K R Puram lake is now being lost to unabated encroachment and increasing constructional activities in its surroundings.
The lake, which was located on either side of a narrow road in the KR Puram village was developed by the Lake Development Authority (LDA) and a private firm on a Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) model in the year 2006.
