Srinagar, March 9 : The plight of Kashmirs houseboats, once called the floating palaces on the pristine waters of The Dal Lake, today hangs in a precarious balance.
It is an archetypal case of the resident coming in direct conflict with his residence!
Once known for its crystal clear waters on which the houseboats floated majestically, the Dal Lake in Kashmir's capital city, Srinagar, is today dying a slow death.
Its waters have become murky, polluted and unfit for drinking and even bathing.
