Nice write up Anand sab, I did go there a few times quite some time ago. Then it was a non-descript place with no protection or upkeep. There were quite a few Spotbilled Pelicans and painted storks with the odd Garganey and Common teal. I also read a article written by someone who claims to have seen siberian cranes there which is highly doubtful. Later some friends told me that a village commitee had taken over and that they were doing a good job.
