Sewage discharge into Bellandur Lake riles NGT-formed committee
- A committee headed by former Lokayukta N Santosh Hegde visited Bellandur Lake and was appalled to see sewage entering the city’s largest waterbody.
- The committee, constituted by the National Green Tribunal (NGT), inspected the lake through the sides of Yemalur, Bellandur Kodi and Bellandur Amanikere.
- Kodi is Kannada for weir which is a wall built under the water across a river or lake, over which the water flows from one level to another in a controlled way.
- The committee’s job is to ensure the NGT’s directions on rejuvenating different lakes in the city are enforced.
- The committee members inspected the condition of Bellandur Lake and recorded what needs to be done to rejuvenate it.
