Lakes

Some students of the Mallya Aditi International School, Bangalore are taking lead and organizing a candle light vigil on Saturday, August 4th, 2007 at 6:30 p.m to save the Hebbal Lake. All you need to bring is candles and sense of care to save the lake.

[Background: Home to thousands of birds and source of livelihood to hundreds of people, the Hebbal Lake, is set to make way for a floating restaurant and other recreational activities all in the name of preservation. Some say this recreational center violates zoning regulations. Before that, is privatization of Bangalore's lakes the only route available to LDA for preserving them?]

I am a student of Mallya Aditi International School. In an article posted in the website it states that the school has initiated the candle light vigil. This is indeed incorrect as the students are merely participating in it and did not initiate it.

Hi Rohit,

Thanks for your comment. You are right about the school, and I will correct the wording of the statement accordingly.

... people attended, so we heard. Not a bad number at all. Now lets see if this will do something - at a minimum some reassurance from EIH can be expected.
