SAVE MIRIK LAKE - Water Pollution in Mirik Lake

Mirik lake is a beautiful natural attraction and a jewel to Mirik, where people from all over the world come too see and appreciate. It is the lake that attracts all tourists coming to Mirik and thus tourism really boosts the income of the local people here in Mirik, whether it is Krishnanagar or Mirik Bazar.




Well, I suppose the local residents as well as the ones visiting Mirik and Sumendup Lake have noticed that people are heavily polluting the Mirik lake where hundreds of fishes live, and thereby water pollution is causing a threat to the survival of those fishes, frogs and other faunas living in the Mirik Lake.

Water pollution especially in the form of garbage disposal, as well as the contamination of detergents and soaps by locals cause the water pollution. It is a common view in the areas like the Shiv Mandir, the Dhuppi Dhara side, the region below Thurbo School, where people wash clothes, take bath, and contaminate soap and other harmful chemicals in Mirik lake. Residents from Mirik bazar are the ones too coming here and causing pollution.

I see that there is no restriction by the Municipality of Mirik or any such organization to control water pollution in Mirik lake. I really think people and residents from Mirik,Mirik bazar, Krishnanagar, etc should take some steps to stop these things from happening.
