The removal of deep sludge that had long been present in Lake Mogan was undertaken to
address pollution and foul odors that had plagued residents for years. Visitors to the lake felt
that its beauty had been “spoiled.” The operation aimed at removing the deep sludge was
initially perceived as a solution to the unpleasant odor and unattractive appearance of the lake,
and the public welcomed this seemingly “positive” step.
After this striking and painful event, the environment became home to many unhealthy
elements, from garbage dumps to breeding reeds. And we are left to watch this sad situation?
No, we don’t. It is our responsibility and obligation to protect the ecosystem, no matter how bad
it is.
