Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) will develop the Bhyrasandra Lake under the Nagarotthana Scheme, said the Administrator of BBMP, T M Vijay Bhaskar.
A day after the visit of the House panel on Lake Conservation to various City lakes, Vijay Bhaskar visited Kempambudhi Lake, Lakkasandra and Bhyrasandra lakes on Thursday and gathered information about the status of these water bodies.
Vijay Bhaskar said the Bhyrasandra Lake will not only be developed under the scheme but also be protected from sewage as well as encroachments.
The Administrator was pained to see the dumping of garbage and sewage spoiling the historic Kempambudhi lake. He directed the BBMP officials to draw an effective action plan to divert sewage through underground drainage system and revive the lake. On the occasion, some residents too gave a representation to him with a request to save the historic tank.
