Summary:
“Varthur lake has two weirs (outlets) — Varthur Kodi and another near Varthur village. Garbage, full of plastic and other non-biodegradable ones, is being dumped at the weir near Varthur village,” said a resident. Earlier this week, several people noticed garbage trucks dumping mixed waste near a weir of the lake. The lake, along with neighbouring Bellandur, already has the ignominy of being one of the most polluted lakes in the city. Residents claim that this is not the first time that garbage has been dumped at the weir..
