Holy dip in stinking waters

KARIMNAGAR: The sacred lake 'Dharmagundam' at Sri Raja Rajeswara temple in Vemulawada in which devotees take a holy dip has been emanating foul smell since long.
With temple authorities neglecting the sanitary conditions of the 50footdeep lake and adding excess quantities of bleaching powder to water to subside the foul smell, the water is being polluted more. The cleaning of the lake which has to be taken up twice a week by the sanitation department is now being done only once in a month.
