National Green Tribunal (NGT) has come down heavily
on the civic bodies on the repeated frothing of the Bellandur Lake in Bengaluru.
The green court has issued notices over the illegal encroachment of the lake
and the civic body has also been accused of several environmental violations. The
case has been adjourned till January where the respondents will have to present
before the court as to how did they give permission go ahead with the
construction on this lakebed. NGT’s new guidelines clearly state that the
buffer zones should be nearly 75 mts, which was revised from 35 mtrs.
