Chandra told TNIE: "Every day, truckloads of construction debris would be brought and dumped into the lake bed. Along with this, solid waste would be brought from surrounding apartment complexes to the lake bed, dumped and then set on fire. The locals said that Shivaraju claimed that he had the support of MLA Krishnappa and a Congress MP and used that to threaten people. I will also visit the lake site with the panchayat and lake development officials and protect the water body,” he said..
