Loktak Lake is not just a source of livelihood, but a goddess to the people of Manipur and a mother to the fishing community. It is the cradle of Manipuri civilisation and culture.
The proliferation of phumdis (floating biomass) and wild plants and weeds in the Loktak lake has polluted the water causing water-borne diseases afflicting the local populace.
The best way to conserve the Loktak Lake is local awareness, monitoring the lake from time to time and strictly follow the rules and regulations as suggested by the concerned department.
The NHPC seems to enjoy complete freedom to destroy Loktak Lake and all the traditions and culture associated with it.
