CAG Finds Nearly Half Of Jammu And Kashmir’s Lakes Have Vanished Since 1967
A municipal worker operates a JCB at a garbage dumping yard on the banks of the Jhelum River in Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir, India, on April 9, 2026. Freshwater lakes in Jammu and Kashmir, including Dal, Wular, and the Jhelum River, face ecological challenges due to untreated sewage, solid waste dumping, and high pollutant levels, with over 74% of 697 lakes either disappearing or shrinking.
