Meet Ellis Spaanderman: The Dutch Woman Cleaning Up Srinagar’s Dal Lake — Alone and Determined
Dutch environment enthusiast Ellis Spaanderman, 69, has taken it upon herself to clean Srinagar’s iconic Dal Lake—by hand.
Her quiet, solo mission has gone viral, inspiring locals to join her fight against plastic pollution.
Known fondly as the “Mother of Dal,” Ellis rejects praise, saying she’s simply cleaning what she loves.
A cyclist and long-time Kashmir resident, Ellis now hopes to raise awareness, encouraging collective responsibility to protect Kashmir’s natural beauty—one plastic bottle at a time.

Russia has openly backed Iran’s nuclear enrichment plans amid growing U.S. and European strike warnings. In a bilateral call, President Putin assured Iranian President Pezeshkian of Moscow’s support, reinforcing a united front ahead of the SCO summit in China. The U.S. has threatened a second wave of attacks if Tehran restarts its nuclear plants, while Russia and China continue defending Iran’s right to pursue civil nuclear energy. Analysts warn of a new nuclear bloc forming as Moscow, Tehran, and Beijing push back against Western dominance.

At the United Nations Security Council, India fiercely rebutted Pakistan’s attempts to internationalize the Kashmir issue and challenge the Indus Waters Treaty. India’s UN Ambassador P Harish accused Pakistan of harboring terrorism and disrupting international peace, labeling it a “terror haven” and “serial borrower.” Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar insisted Kashmir is a disputed territory and demanded UN intervention. This heated exchange highlights the escalating diplomatic tensions and the complex geopolitical battle over Kashmir and water rights in South Asia.
