Bengaluru Frothing Lake

Bengaluru's Bellandur lake, infamous for its pollution, has started to froth once again. Giant chunks of smelly, white froth - that looked like cotton - could be seen spilling around residential neighbourhood.

With Bengaluru's lakes making headlines for their froth, flames and overall pollution, the National Green Tribunal today found Karnataka negligent in protecting its water bodies and keeping the city's drains free of encroachments.

Bengaluru's Bellandur lake, infamous for its pollution, spewed froth and foam on to the busy roads surrounding it on Tuesday after overnight rain. Giant chunks of smelly, white froth - that looked like cotton - was carried up in the air and spread across the busy locality as cars and motorbikes passed by.

A lake near Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy's constituency on the outskirts of Bengaluru is releasing what villagers claim to be toxic froth as a result of dumping by industries. Farmers say the toxic waste is killing their crops. The residents complained that the authorities have not reacted as swiftly to the issue as they had when a lake ...

The sewage-filled froth of Bengaluru's Bellandur lake has now reached a Rs 1,400-crore water project in Kolar district, around 70 km away from the state capital.

Bengaluru's Bellandur lake has become the largest septic tank in the city due to "sheer callousness and indifference", according to a damning report from a committee mandated by the National Green Tribunal or Green Court, adding that there was "not even one millilitre" of clean water in the lake.

The National Green Tribunal has summoned top officials of the Karnataka government to explain what action they have taken to clean the Bellandur lake in Bengaluru, where carcinogenic foam has been frothing again over the past few days.

After the city's heaviest August rain in a century, two giant lakes in Bengaluru are spewing so much toxic foam that residents who live near them have reportedly complained that they are having to stay indoors. On Wednesday, the froth, a stinking cocktail of chemicals and untreated sewage dumped in the lakes, rose to over 10 feet in the Varthur Lak...

Overnight rains, Bengaluru's heaviest in August in a century, has the city's Varthur Lake spewing foam and froth like never before. On Wednesday, the foam caused by toxic chemicals and untreated sewage in the lake rose to over 10 feet along the tall fence erected to keep the stinking cocktail of pollutants from spilling on to road in Varthur Kodi l...

Dirty, foul-smelling froth was back in Bengaluru's Bellandur lake and spraying passing motorists on Tuesday after a night of heavy rain, the worst in the city in August since 1890.

There is no doubt that the froth on the lakes of Bengaluru has generated a lot of interest - and attempts to clean it up. But the efforts of one Bengaluru student, Sahithi Pingali, have been recognised in a rather universal way - the 12th standard student of Inventure Academy has had a planet in the Milky Way named after her!

The country's top green court today issued a strong warning to the Karnataka government and the civic authorities of state capital Bengaluru for failing to control the pollution in the frothing, fuming Bellandur lake. The state had been given a month's deadline to clean up the lake, which gets over on May 19, but has failed to finish the job.

The National Green Tribunal today took Karnataka government and its civic authorities to task over foam spilling over into the streets in Bengaluru near the Varthur lake, causing massive traffic jams in the city.

After the froth, the flames - one of Bengaluru's two biggest lakes is following its pattern with a large fire reported this morning, hours after foam shot up from the water and sprayed drivers in the crowded eastern part of India's Silicon Valley.

No problem, it happens every year, Karnataka's Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has said, as Bengaluru's Varthur Lake froths and shoots toxic foam at motorists passing by. Pre-monsoon rain has meant more froth in the past week and people driving past the lake on the arterial Whitefield Road have had a tough time evading the flying clouds of chemical.
