THE historic pond Asha Sagar, once treated as lifeline of Bhawanipatna, is on the verge of extinction due to large-scale encroachment and negligence by authorities.

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @ Bhawanipatna

The wetland which added to the town's beauty was constructed by the then Maharaja Uditpratap Deo between 1860 and 1873 AD in the name of his younger queen Ashakumari Devi. It was built over Ghodaghat Nala, a stream in the form of a Kata with a total area of 106 acre. The pond's water storage area was 99 acre with a depth of 30-40 feet. Home to various fish species, the pond was used by residents for their daily needs. It also helped irrigate 200 acre of agriculture farm setup at Arkabaheli in 1946.
