The village leaders have been trying to construct a community fishery pond there but could not do anything due to lack of financial resources for a long time. It was only during the period 2015-2016 that the thick foliage was cleared and heavy deposits of silt was removed from the lake being funded under MGNREGA program and a community Fishery Pond was constructed. However, a lot more still remain uncompleted due to financial constraints without which the real benefit of the project will still remain untapped.
