As per report Bengaluru’s never ending tragedy, the Bellandur and Varthur Lakes are frothing again. On Tuesday morning everyone saw a slush of unpleasant, smelly and toxic froth climb up the 10 ft mesh and flow into the roads, saying hello to the pedestrians and motorists, who covered their noses with disgust and the foam follows heavy rains on Monday evening.
Meanwhile Seema, a member of Bellandur Rising says, “It has turned into a selfie spot and when the froth comes, journalists call us up in the middle of the night and say we are meeting residents, but the real issue is that there is apathy at other times and the budget earmarked Rs 50 crores for it. Hence the National Green Tribunal has postponed hearings from August to October and so the lake becomes a point of discussion only when there's a fire or froth coming onto the street.
As per report BWSSB sources say that none of the
engineers actually have any clarity on the progress of the STP construction
work. Moreover when TNM asked BWSSB regarding the progress of the work, the
reply was “We will know whether the work is on track on by next year and the STP
is expected to be completed by 2020. Further after the blunder of the KC Valley
project and the contamination of ground water in Kolar, the BWSSB is assessing
the impact the current STP would actually have”.
