River Sal Beautification: Cosmetic Uplift?

Locals flag water hyacinth, monsoon risks; activist questions limited project Beautification work at River Sal in Kharenband has sparked concerns, with locals pointing out that nearby stretches of the river remain choked with water hyacinth. Residents have also warned that railings and floating plant platforms may submerge during the monsoon. Social activist Warren Alemao criticised the project as a cosmetic uplift, saying the entire river should have been cleaned instead of a limited stopover development.
