In a report submitted to the High Court, Karnataka’s highest ranking forest official Dr P J Dilip Kumar has severely criticised the state’s approach to commercialise Bangalore’s lakes.
A candle light vigil was held opposing LDA plans to handover Hebbal Lake to a private party that plans an upmarket recreational facility beside the lake.
LDA leases out Agara Lake to a private party which plans an amusement park. Local residents and environmentalists are aghast and plan their next moves.
