HISTORY OF BADKHAL LAKE:
This Lake was once a picturesque spot and a popular place for tourists. It was also a habitat for migratory birds and animals. In 2009 the lake completely dried due to mining and continuous working of tubewells. Lots of mineral water companies also used to take water from this lake for their own purposes.  
In 2010 government filled this lake with water due to the concurrence of Commonwealth Games. Deforestation and rampant borewell digging in the area owing to urbanisation worsened the situation, leaving the lake high and dry.

The lake is still dried up till now. Government have not taken any steps to revive it till now.
