successfully cleaning the Khordak Channel, which plays a
pivotal role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of this
wetland.
Taking to X, Singh said the significance of Khordak channel in

cherished dream of restoring Loktak Lake to its pristine,
untarnished grandeur.”

importance of continued collaboration. Loktak Lake is a
precious natural treasure that deserves our utmost care. I urge
every citizen to join hands in the ongoing conservation
initiatives, as your support is instrumental in achieving our
