Social media users are hailing the effort as a testament to the strength of girl power and also criticizing the government for not building viable roads. "Bravo young ladies! Salute your courage even in such adverse situation. Well done!," a twitter user said. Loktak Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India. Located 39 km from Imphal, the capital city of Manipur, it is also called the only floating lake in the world due to the large amount of floating phumdis on its surface.
