Bengaluru Lake Choked by Pollution, Wildlife Suffers

Residents of Doddagubbi, East Bengaluru, are sounding the alarm over the severe degradation of their local lake. The once-thriving Doddagubbi lake has become a grim sight, with its waters turning a murky green, a condition residents attribute to suspected sewage inflow from nearby residential areas. This alarming pollution has directly led to the distress and death of the lake's fish and bird populations.

Locals report that while the pollution has been a gradual concern for months, it has worsened significantly in recent days. The visual impact of dying wildlife in the once-beautiful waterbody has deeply distressed the community. Complaints have been officially lodged with the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board, highlighting the urgency of the situation.

Despite these repeated alerts, residents express frustration over the lack of visible intervention from authorities. Officials from the local gram panchayat stated they had not yet received formal complaints, but pledged to take action if the issue is brought to their attention, leaving the community anxious for immediate environmental remediation.
