History
The lake plot in Survey No. 251 of Chharodi village was transferred by Government of Gujarat to Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) for free in March 2020 to develop it as a public space and as a water storage.[1] The development work was started by holding online ceremony under the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah on 11 September 2020.[2] The encroachments on the plot were removed in March 2023.[3] The lake was developed by AMC at the cost of ₹5.26 crore (US$630,000).[4] It was inaugurated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on 21 May 2023.[5][6] In May 2023, 26 houses were demolished to create space for an amusement park and a garden in future.[7]
Features
The lake is spread over an area of 42,593 square metres (458,470 sq ft).[1] It has a capacity to store 167.70 million litre of water and is interlinked with other lakes.

Two 'pay and use' toilets are also there.[5][4][9] The lake has parking capacity of 40 cars on west side, 31 cars on east side and 156 two-wheelers on south side.[10]
