Sewage

Pro-Kannada organisations and lake activists are up in arms against Tamil Nadu for 'cheap' mentality of asking even the treated sewage water of KC Valley project that is being used to fill parched lakes of Kolar and Chikkaballapura districts. Don't miss watching the Bengaluru Night Cap.
 

Pro-Kannada outfits have warned of protests, sealing of Tamil Nadu border and also banning Tamil cable TV networks following the neighbouring state’s latest demand of asking the release of treated sewage water that is being diverted from KC Valley to parched districts Kolar and Chikkaballapura
 

 The National Green Tribunal (NGT) constituted a committee to monitor the development of lakes. Now, the committee is left in deep shock by the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewage Board (BWSSB) as it has built sewage treatment Plant without the provision to let the treated water into lakes.  The committee headed by former Lokayukta Santosh Hegde visited Agra Lake and made this observation. He says he will send the report  to NGT for further action.
 

An association of fishermen dependent on Ulsoor lake are fearing the worst as contaminated water from the allegedly dysfunctional sedimentation tank is being let into the lake. The members think that there will be mass fish deaths in case this is not rectified.

A survey by Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike's (BBMP) road infrastructure department has shown that 1,355 killer manholes are left unattended by Bangalore Water Supply and Sewage Board (BWSSB). Most of these badly maintained manholes are in arterial and sub-arterial roads in BBMP limits
 

In order to ensure that Cubbon park does not suffer during summer in the coming years and to reduce its dependency on the Bengaluru Water Supply and Sewage Board (BWSSB), the authorities from the department of horticulture and NGOs are working towards groundwater recharging. The project is likely to begin in March and end by June. Once completed, the wells can hold over 10 lakh litres of water.

The hilly town of Sakleshpur has the basic problems plaguing all cities and then some. With bad roads and sewage systems, they also have the problem of elephants entering the town. One factor that plays a very important role in choosing the right candidate here is the person's caste. While HK Kumaraswamy retain his seat? Or will the brand new BJP candidate from Bengaluru take over the reigns? Watch Jan Ki Baat on Asianet newsable.
