A year ago, this very lake was a subject of concern, with its overgrown weeds dominating the landscape. On August 21, 2022, Bangalore Mirror published an article “Lake’s Sake,” which highlighted the alarming state of the lake. The report highlighted how the BBMP Lakes Department’s lack of supervision or inspection of the rejuvenated lake had an adverse impact on the water body. The lake was rejuvenated at an estimated cost of Rs 3 crore four years ago.
