A section of the jogging track at Agara Lake has caved in this morning after the rains. According to the park caretakers, this is because there is a BWSSB sewage line under the track, a leakage of which has collapsed the mud.
A small pit has become a 20 feet pit,” says Kavitha Reddy of the Agara Lake Protection & Management Society. “We have tried to block off the area… the entire track is in a difficult situation. Thankfully, the sewage has not entered the lake.”
The caretakers are not sure how the leakage of the BWSSB sewage pipeline that runs on one side of the jogging track was laid. However, this incident clearly shows that there has been some leakage that has softened the mud, leading to its collapse.
We urge the BWSSB to take immediate action and fix this problem before it leads to any mishaps.
