After the inauguration, the society members planted saplings on the both sides of the waterbody.Shukla Sarwat Siraj, Secretary General of the Gulshan Society said, "Fresco will be drawn on the walls adjoining to the lake along with slogans to aware people." "Locals should stop throwing the garbage into the lake to keep its flow smooth and clear. To make the city livable, the lake must be saved. People also should thwart the grabbers," she opined.

It is to be mentioned that, RAJUK in a deal signed on July last year gave the charge of cleaning, maintaining and enhancing the beauty of the lake to the Society.
