On October 8, 2025, environmental authorities in Nagpur reported that untreated sewage from approximately 50 residential houses is severely polluting Futala Lake, one of the city’s iconic water bodies. Locals have raised concerns over the deteriorating water quality, foul odors, and the adverse impact on both aquatic life and tourism. Investigations revealed that the affected houses lack proper sewage connections to the municipal treatment system, causing raw wastewater to flow directly into the lake. Citizens and environmental activists have demanded urgent intervention from the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) to prevent further ecological damage. The NMC stated that plans are underway to install sewage pipelines and treatment solutions, but delays have sparked public frustration. Experts warn that prolonged contamination could lead to eutrophication, loss of biodiversity, and public health hazards, emphasizing the need for strict monitoring and enforcement of environmental regulations. Community groups have pledged to support cleanup efforts and create awareness about proper waste disposal. #NagpurNews #FutalaLake #SewagePollution #EnvironmentalConcern #WaterQuality #MunicipalAction #UrbanPollution #PublicHealth #Ecology #CommunityAwareness
