Mangaluru Plans Revamp For Four Key Lakes

Under the Amrut 2.0 project, Mangaluru City Corporation has already started working on improving the condition of four lakes in the Karnataka city. Before the revamp, officials are preparing detailed reports for the lakes set to undergo renovation–Kadri Jogimath Lake cluster, Bairadi Lake, Baggundi Lake, and Mallikarjuna Lake.

More About The Revamp Project

The Central Government’s Apex Committee approved the lake makeover project under the third tranche of the Amrut 2.0 programme. Now, the authorities will restore the water bodies and build green and recreational spaces. The urban local body will have to cover any additional costs caused by higher material prices, delays, or land issues.

Officials have already finalised the estimated cost of each Mangaluru lake. As per Daiji World, they expect the Kadri Jogimath Lake cluster revamp to cost ₹2.40 crore, while Bairadi Lake carries the highest project cost at ₹135 crore. They estimate the development of Baggundi Lake at ₹14 crore, and Mallikarjuna Lake in Kadekar will require about ₹3.70 crore-worth of redevelopment. In total, the project is worth approximately ₹155 crore.
