The growth of invasive species of Ipomoea carnea, also known as bush morning glory on the banks of Vihar Lake seems to be a reason for worry as Forest Department officials feel the invasive weed will eat up the lake area due to its rapid growth. So the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) authorities have decided to write a letter to BMC informing about the same seeking permission to remove the plant at the earliest.

Configuring the same, a senior Forest Department official said, "In last 8-10 years we have witnessed the bush morning glory spreading rapidly on the banks of Vihar Lake. We will soon write to BMC and tell them to help us in removing this invasive species."
