First time since it was built 20 years ago, work for de-silting was started in 2020 at the Pushkar Sarovar lake formed by the second of the first five barriers restricting the ecological flow of Narmada. The infant river is no more than a thin stream. The district administration carried out repair work for the barrage structure as a result of which the pond was empty for most of the time post monsoon and showcased silt deposits mixed with municipal solid waste.
