Bengaluru: Taking a strong objection to the Cabinet de-notifying around 1,500 dying lakes, State JD(S) President H.D. Kumaraswamy has sought the Governor’s intervention to stop the Government move.
Quoting a Supreme Court order and recommendations by Committees headed by retired IAS officer N. Lakshman Rao on lakes in the city, as well as Committees of A.T. Ramaswamy and V. Balasubramanian on lake encroachment, Kumaraswamy alleged that there was an attempt by the Government to hand over the lakes to real estate developers.
