Bellandur Lake Froth

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bengaluru's frothing and fuming Bellandur lake had a special visitor on Monday: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. The chief minister had gone to take stock of the cleaning process that started at the 1000-acre lake last month after an order from the nation's top environmental court.

Bengaluru's Bellandur Lake caught fire again today, with a thick smoke engulfing the entire area. Details of the incident are still emerging.

A walloping from the country's top green court appears to have worked- after years of inaction, Bengaluru's largest lake, Bellandur, a fixture in the headlines because of its regular frothing and flaming, is being cleaned.

Bengaluru's largest lake, Bellandur, has not stopped frothing in more than two decades; the thick layer of white foam is a constant. Occasionally, like on this weekend, the foam shoots into the air, carried either by strong winds or pumped up by steady rain, turning into a potent hazard for drivers in the area.
