RTI to save bellandur lake

Lakes

HI All,

Everyday I travel via the road next to bellandur lake to OOR. The speed at which the dumping trucks are covering up the lake is scary. I am planning to file a RTI seeking more information about this issue. As I am filing an RTI for the first time, would welcome any help in helping me format the right queries for the RTI.

The lake adjoining Puttenahalli and Jaraganahalli is dying slowly. The lake is called Jaraganahalli Lake or Sarakki Lake and it is a huge water body.
