It was a great victory, at least for now, for the warriors of the Kukkarahalli Kere Ulisi Samithi, (Save Kukkarahalli Lake Committee) who had staged a protest demonstration yesterday at the DC’s office demanding that the planned developmental work of the lake be stopped as it would damage the biodiversity of the lake and its surrounding areas and for the reason that desilting of the lake would lead to the complete drying up of the lake in the future.
They were demanding that the planned conversion of Kukkarahalli Lake and the land around it into a tourist destination be abandoned. They had also submitted a memorandum to the DC. Following this, the DC has now stayed further works at the lake area.
