About Neela Hauz

Neela Hauz is an 800 year old natural lake near the Nuclear Science Centre on the Aruna Asaf ali Marg (JNU Road) in New Delhi. It has been abused over the years through sheer neglect and mismanagement by the government. Now, a bridge is being constructed over the lake in preparation for the Commonwealth Games, for which nearly 60% of the lake has been filled. A group of citizens have gotten together to ensure that after the bridge is built the lake is restored to its earlier glory, and perhaps make it a heritage destination for Delhiites.
