Siddaiah inspects road widening work
He also visited Harohalli Lake and inspected its surroundings. Taking a public opinion on the matter, Siddiah said that the lake should be dug up by an additional four feet as it helped the rejuvenation of ground water levels in the area. He asked for the release of `1.6 crore for this purpose.
