Mysore/Mysuru: The lakes of Mysuru, many of which are on the verge of disappearance including the ones in the heart of the city, thanks to the neglect of authorities, can now expect to be revived by the industry under their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. JK Tyre & Industries Ltd., one of India’s largest and prestigious Tyre Manufacturing Companies having three manufacturing plants in Mysuru and one state-of-the-art R&D Centre at Metagalli and Hebbal Industrial Area, has rejuvenated the long-neglected Alanahalli Lake.
The Alanahalli Lake is called Sarkarikatte by local villagers and it was in a bad shape due to the dumping of garbage, encroachment and silt accumulation over many decades. The Alanahalli Gram Panchayat had approached JK Tyre to rejuvenate the Lake. It is a small ephemeral waterbody with a 2.16-acre catchment area on T. Narasipur Road off the Outer Ring Road. In this background, the JK Tyre has rejuvenated the lake in coordination with the District Administration and NGO MYKAPS, which was the project implementing agency.
