Submit time-bound action plan on Bellandur lake: NGT
Context:
- The National Green Tribunal (NGT) questioned the Karnataka government for not taking measures to prevent recurring fires at the severely polluted Bellandur lake.
- A Bench, headed by NGT directed the government to submit a time-bound action plan by January 29.
What are the causes of the recurring fire?
- The State government representative contended that local residents were in the habit of venturing into the lake to collect grass for cattle feed, and that the dry grass was resulting in the fire.
- Fire in Bellandur Lake is due to froth generated in the lake as a result of unregulated discharge of domestic and industrial sewage.
