The Chandigarh Administration has several ongoing and proposed projects to preserve and enhance Sukhna Lake:
* **Comprehensive Desiltation Plans:** Continuous efforts are planned to trap silt in the catchment area (the Shivalik hills) through check dams to prevent the lake from shrinking. * **Eco-Tourism Development:** Plans to introduce solar-powered boats and expand eco-friendly tourism infrastructure without disrupting the local wildlife. * **Wetland Conservation:** Collaborative projects with national environmental bodies to protect the flora and fauna, specifically targeting the removal of invasive weed species that threaten the lake's oxygen levels. * **Promenade Upgrades:** Continuous beautification of the jogging track, installation of more smart lighting, and enhanced public amenities for the disabled.
