                  A few remaining less polluted lakes of Kovai. This lake used to be abound with variety of migratory birds like egrets, cormorants, wild ducks. But of late I noticed lots of nets being used by people to catch fish. Now if the fish starts to deplete it might lead to the birds stop visiting the lake. Moreover the nets may pose danger to birds and that may too stop them from visiting the lake. There has to be some regulation in fishing and the nets used. The surrounding too abound with rats since visitors carelessly throw rubbish all around that is certainly a big eye sore. Visitors must use the bins or else should be fined for littering the place. Nature has given several wonderful lakes around the town and its our responsibility to maintain them in a healthy state especially when water scarcity is posing a big challenge to every town.

 Hills are alive ...

The pics were taken while travelling to and from Coimbatore particularly between Erode Thiruppur and Salem. These beautiful hills and forests how long would fight for survival from rapacious humans is anybody's guess.
