swarrier - 18-FEB-2017

Hi,

Bengaluru lake systems and demolitions

srinidhi - 9-AUG-2016

Finally we need a crisis of sorts to get the govt machinery started and the CM talking tough about illegal encroachments onto lake areas. Everyone has abused the lakes systems in the worst possible way. So course corrections are necessary and a must!

SOme right vibes coming out from the opposition too, where BJP has asked to go behind the big players too, citing as below:

Lakes in state will now be saved?!

srinidhi - 12-FEB-2015

Amidst the euphoria around the victory of AAP in Delhi, there was another major happening closer to home..LDA which was called toothless all this while when it came to preventing encroachments was empowered with statutory powers!

Reviving Puttenahalli Lake

s_yajaman - 21-DEC-2011

A couple of years ago, Puttenahalli Lake, JP Nagar 7th Phase (near Brigade Millennium) was a garbage dump. Today it is filled up with a fair amount of fresh water with 200 trees around and is home to more than 50 species of birds, including European migratories. My wife and three others, along with the BBMP, were instrumental in bringing the lake back from the brink of extinction.

Alert - Lake being filled at B Narayanapura, Mahadevapura

Jose - 12-APR-2011

I see that one of the lakes adjoining the outer ring road-Mahadevapura, is being filled with the debris coming from the nearby flyover construction. This lake is in B Narayanapura, just bang on the side of the outer ring road. Daily, truck load of debris from the near by flyover construction site (at Mahadevapura junction) is being dumped into this lake.

Bellandur Lake Fencing

pravn1984 - 19-MAR-2010

 Today, while passing by bellandur tank bund road, I noticed that the lake was being fenced.

There were two sets of fencing being done. One on the boundary of the lake - on one side of the road, and the other on the opposite side of the road. I did not have a camera( camera phone) to take the pics.( will try to do the same in my next visit or some other praja can fill on the same).

I am presuming this is part of this  project of chain link fencing a host of lakes in city.

I checked the tenders for the same has been  already awarded ( can be checked in this site 

 eproc.karnataka.gov.in . So, probably this activity has started for other lakes also.

This is atleast a start in improving/cleaning/maintaining this lake.  However, one thing to worry about is there is no plan of green belt for bellandur lake.  There seems to be no space earmarked for the same either.
