Lotuses have bloomed in Jammu and Kashmir's Wular Lake after 30 years, following a flood in 1992 that had wiped them out. "The lotus has seen a revival in areas where we removed silt," an official said. The Wular Conservation Authority began desilting the lake to clear flood deposits. Lotus also grows in Dal and Manasbal lakes in the Valley.
