According to sources the 1000 Wcre Lake, frothing for years, had caught fire in February, generating dense fumes that hung over the entire area for days and led to massive protests by residents. Meanwhile the green court stepped in, ordering the state government to clean up the lake by May 19. The state said such operations have been in progress, but given the immensity of the task, they would not be able to meet the deadline.

Moreover KJ George, the Bengaluru Development Minister said last year, unprecedented scenes of people fishing on the waterlogged streets were seen in July after rain flooded several lakes in the city. Later, the state government had launched a demolition drive, claiming encroachment over storm water drains had led to the flooding. The drive was abruptly stopped after properties of politicians and actors were identified as encroachments.
