The brief survey which was conducted in December 2023 for a period of 10 days by ActionAid Association in all the seven lakes of South Bengaluru — Anjanapura, Chunchaghatta, Doddakallasandra, Dorekere, Konanakunte, Kothnur and Subbaraayakere — has now been submitted to the municipal body Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).
“The idea behind conducting the survey was to identify gaps in fencing and highlight its impact on lakes’ biodiversity. At all seven lakes that we surveyed, multiple gaps in fencing were observed,” said Raghavendra B Pachhapur of ActionAid Association, the NGO that conducted the survey.
