Bengaluru lakes foam again Spill 10-feet high froth blanket moving cars
Bengaluru’s Bellandur and Varthur lakes are infamous for spewing foul-smelling froth, but the heavy rains on the Independence Day night have worsened their condition, and have caused the lakes to foam like never before.
Bengaluru experienced its heaviest rainfall in 127 years on Independence Day, which left many parts of the city water logged. The toxic chemicals and untreated sewage in the lakes reportedly gave rise to over 10 feet of foam.
While the foam from the Varthur lake spilled on to the Whitefield road near Varthur Kodi junction, plumes of foam also entered the road adjacent to the Bellandur Lake.
Varthur Lake
Varthur lake, which is one of Bengaluru’s largest lake is spread over 445 acres. There have been several instances of the lake spilling froth.
Though a netted fence has been built around the lake to keep the foam from entering the roads, heavy rains have destroyed the fence causing huge clouds of foam, which blocked the roads near Varthur causing traffic jam.
“The water current was so strong that it has destroyed the fence and the mud wall. Water flowing from Bellandur to Varthur has also entered the empty land adjacent to it,” a resident near Varthur told NDTV
Belandur Lake
Meanwhile, on Wednesday the Belandur Lake spewed out waves of froth which blanketed cars on the roads and left the neighbourhood stinking.
