The government has taken no conservation
initiative even nine months after the high-level committee formed to study
encroachment on the Phewa Lake submitted its report along with recommendations.
According to the experts, more than 140,000 metric tons of sand is deposited in
the lake every year. The lake, which had spread over an area of about 1,100 ha
earlier, has now shrunk to 600 ha.
