Locals have claimed that their ‘jewel’ needs protection from fishing and wildlife trapping

The water body is situated near a mangrove patch in the K West ward
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.
