Dehradun: Chief Secretary Anand Bardhan on Friday chaired a high-powered committee meeting to review plans for developing Tehri Lake as a global tourism destination.

Bardhan directed officials to maximise renewable energy use in the project and explore solar-powered sewage treatment plants. He also suggested giving the project a catchy and easy-to-remember name.

Selected villages around Tehri Lake will be developed as traditional villages showcasing Uttarakhand’s craft, culture and heritage, while creating livelihood opportunities for local communities.

The Chief Secretary also called for a comprehensive plan for boating and jetty operations based on a scientific assessment of the lake’s capacity. The proposed museum will showcase Tehri’s royal history, folk art and culture, along with a 3D model of Old Tehri.

He said the project may be implemented in phases, but a complete master plan should be prepared in advance.
