DH News Service, Bangalore:

Residents of HSR Layout and Hosapalya on Sunday launched a movement against mounting garbage which is shrinking the Hosapalya Lake.

Jeewan Kumar Jyothi and others took out a rally from Hosapalya to the area where garbage was dumped. They raised slogans demanding that the government save the shrinking lake.

“It was spread across 22 acres, but now it has been reduced to merely five acres. The heap of garbage has encroached upon a large number of space,” they sad.

They complained the water table of the area has gone down and the ground water has been contaminated.
