• Cept to use Kankaria design for Bhopal Lake makeover

  Ahmedabad: City’s Kankaria Lakefront project will lend its design to the country’s oldest manmade lake in Bhopal. The Madhya Pradesh government has awarded Centre for Environmental Planning and Technology (Cept) University the project of making a detailed concept plan for the lake. After studying the present scenario of the lake, experts at Cept University have planned to divide the 25 kilometer-long periphery of the lake into five zones including an ‘active recreational zone,’ which will resemble the revenue generating model of the Kankaria Lake.
