What will the officials say? The pond itself is telling its limits: Even after 6 surveys and demarcations in 30 years, the corporation has not been able to finalize the boundaries of the large pond.

Although the municipal corporation's records may not be clear about the boundaries of the large lake that is a Ramsar site, this monsoon season, the lake has defined its own limits. The corporation has installed towers at various locations to determine the Full Tank Level (FTL) as 50 meters, but in many places, water has reached 30 to 70 feet beyond these towers, while the lake is still more than a foot below the FTL. Two reporters from Dainik Bhaskar have reported on the situation in Bhainsakhedi, Kolukhedi, Halalpur, and Khanugaon.
