Sukhna Lake in Chandigarh, India, is a popular tourist destination, attracting hundreds of visitors daily. However, safety measures are critically lacking, with only six lifeguards overseeing 123 boats. On average, over 600 visitors use the lake on weekdays, and this number can surge to nearly 2,000 on weekends. Despite the high footfall, only 350 life jackets are available, and safety monitoring appears minimal. Local resident Mohit Gupta highlighted the unpredictability of weather conditions, emphasizing the need for a systematic safety approach, including regular inspections and dedicated rapid-response teams. Vinod Vashisht, convener of the City Forum of Residents Welfare Organisations, pointed out that existing boating safety rules in India mandate certified life jackets and prohibit overloading, urging their strict enforcement at Sukhna Lake. With the potential for accidents looming, the community is calling for immediate action to enhance safety protocols.
