Lokhandwala lake in Andheri West is a paradise for birdwatchers as hundreds of native and migratory avians visit the water body in winter. However, illegal fishing poses a threat to its biodiversity.

Recently, a local tweeted a video of two men fishing in the lake, which is prohibited. The water body is near a mangrove patch in the K West ward, which is under the jurisdiction of the Versova police.
