Pollution of Hussain Sagar Lake
Pollution of Hussain Sagar Lake
Man is a selfish animal. Nature has been its main victim since time immemorial. Man is basically responsible for polluting the environment. But what have we done about it? The pathetic condition of Hussain Sagar Lake speaks for itself.
WHAT A pity for the Hussain Sagar Lake at Hyderabad. It is a mean act by the educated Hyderabadis. The Hussain Sagar was actually developed by the early Nizams, for depicting the glory of Hyderabad. But, if you get to know how people regard it, you will be left astonished.

These people use this water for cleaning the buffaloes, washing clothes, urinating and other discharges, besides bathing and all other activities, which pollute the
