Despite Bhopal's reputation as a 'City of Lakes,' the Upper Lake (Bada Talab) faces continuous threats from untreated sewage inflow and encroachment, impacting its status as a heritage site and a source of drinking water for nearly 40% of the city. The Lower Lake is suffering from eutrophication and plastic waste.
The Bhopal Metro project has entered a significant new phase with the commencement of underground tunneling. The Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) 'Durgavati' has begun excavating at a depth of 24 meters, aiming to connect older parts of the city without disrupting surface traffic. This advanced 'mobile factory' will operate with zero vibration and noise pollution, promising minimal impact on daily life.
