Thinking clean:A sedimentation tank at Kempambudhikere would purify sewage water before it enters the lake.
Bangalore: Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) Commissioner Siddiah carried out an inspection to check the progress of works in Kempambudhikere near Vivekananda Ashram here on Tuesday where the civic authority has taken up silt removal and other development works.
Area councillor Chandrashekhar urged the Commissioner to build a sedimentation tank at the lake for which the officials said a detailed project report would be ready within a month. Pointing out that there were many inlets for sewage water, they said the sedimentation tank would ensure that the water was purified before entering the lake.
Plaster falls down
Meanwhile, late on Monday, the plastering on the roof of around five houses in New Corporation Colony, Doddakunte on Assaye Road, came crashing down, forcing residents to seek shelter at a nearby temple all night.
On Tuesday, Mayor S.K. Nataraj, Deputy Mayor N. Dayanand, Ruling Party Leader B.S. Sathyanarayana and Commissioner visited the spot and inspected the buildings. Some 37 houses were constructed between 1944 and 1952 for pourakarmikas. Over a period of time, the colony expanded to 74 families. The Commissioner and Mayor announced that the BBMP would construct new houses for all families.
