Criticising those responsible for the ongoing construction to install a hoarding, V Ramprasad of Friends of Lakes said that utilising the lake or buffer zone for commercial purposes is against court order and that the hoarding will pose danger not only to the lake and also to people who visit the waterbody for walks.
According to BBMP officials, additional development of parks and recreational works adjacent to the lake will be decided after drawing up the DPR. In October, three lakes — Madiwala, Nagawara and Hebbal —were transferred by the Karnataka Forest Department to the BBMP as per an order issued by the Urban Development Department. From 2019 to 2022, Madiwala Lake was in the custody of the BBMP before Karnataka Forest Department took over its administration.
The community’s dedication was evident as residents recently extended their efforts to Varanasi Lake. On Wednesday, they carried out an awareness campaign at Varanasi Lake. With the mission of encouraging public involvement in lake preservation, the residents emphasised the importance of voluntary contributions to maintain the lakes. Balaji Raghotham, a dedicated lake activist and resident of KR Puram, highlighted the significance of collective action in sustaining the ecosystem.
