The Whitefield division police have formed a squad named Lake Police for the security of the Bellandur lake premises.
Around four to five Home Guards are deployed at key locations around the lake to prevent dumping of garbage as well as to keep an eye on encroachment, a senior police officer said.
“Ideally, the BBMP has to place a request with the Police Department seeking security. Only then, we will deploy our men. But as a proactive measure, we have for now deployed Home Guards at various locations around the lake,” DCP (Whiefield) Narayanaswamy said.
