Bellandur Lake Fencing

20 March 2010 - 12:34am — pravn1984

Today, while passing by bellandur tank bund road, I noticed that the lake was being fenced.

There were two sets of fencing being done. One on the boundary of the lake - on one side of the road, and the other on the opposite side of the road. I did not have a camera( camera phone) to take the pics.( will try to do the same in my next visit or some other praja can fill on the same).

I am presuming this is part of this project of chain link fencing a host of lakes in city.

I checked the tenders for the same has been already awarded ( can be checked in this site

eproc.karnataka.gov.in . So, probably this activity has started for other lakes also.

This is atleast a start in improving/cleaning/maintaining this lake. However, one thing to worry about is there is no plan of green belt for bellandur lake. There seems to be no space earmarked for the same either.

This form should help us send a consistent appeal to CAG.

This is my initiative to understand the current state of all lakes in bangalore. I think this year 2010, i will visit each lake and get the photos of them and post in a blog. This we can use it in our future references.

Somehow I feel that the lakes in bangalore are dwindling and I am not doing anything about it. This is my attempt towards it.
