The Chandapura Lake is situated in Bengaluru’s Chandapura Town (Anekal Taluk). The size of Chandapura Lake as a whole is about 24 acres. Four streams are thought to be the lake’s primary sources, and water from the lake’s overflow flows into Muthanallur Lake. A seven-member joint committee was established by the National Green Tribunal in 2022 to investigate an Express article titled “Lakes of Bengaluru: Industrial effluents, Raw Sewage, and the Stinky Tale of Chandapura Lake.”Taking note of the pollution on the lakes, NGT had imposed a 500 Crore fine, As a result, government-issued tender for the sum of 2.5 crores for the primary development of the lake. The DPRs for building subsurface drainage systems in Hebbagodi City Municipal Council and Bommasandra TMC have been produced and submitted to the government for approval as a long-term solution to maintain the lake clean. The cost estimates are Rs 153 crore and Rs 109 crore, respectively.The Progress now happening is slow and we urge the government bodies to accelerate and support additional funding and ensure natural treatment arrangements for untreated water, the construction of a bund to the periphery and lagoons, and the planting of trees for natural treatment,the boundary of these lakes and the lake buffer zone need to be fixed. Work also needs to be carried out for the clearance of drains from Chandapura to Muthanallur lake and the desilting of Chandapura lakes should be undertaken as a long term solution.
