Bengaluru in-charge minister R Ramalinga Reddy and MP Rajeev Chandrashekar were accompanied by members of the Koramangala resident welfare associations. The residents pressured the elected representatives to complete the work by April-end.
Reddy promised to ensure the government allots an additional Rs 8 crore for beautification, and that cleaning and rejuvenation work is completed by the end of this month.
Rajeev said, "At a time when lakes in the city are being encroached by land sharks, this is a perfect example of how citizen, government and MP partnership ensured Mestripalya Lake does not meet the same fate. The lake bed was almost given away to land encroachers, but is now being reclaimed.."
Looking into the past
The lake is spread over 17 acres, and 300 acres around it was acquired by the government in the 1980s to develop Koramangala layout. A dispute arose over the lake land when the BDA attempted to obtain 6.2 acres to form a layout and allot sites to six legislators.
In 2005, residents filed a petition in the high court against the BDA's move to form a layout. In December 2006, the high court passed an order directing the BDA and the government not to allot the disputed land to any person until further orders. The apex court took over the issue and declared the BDA as owner of the lake in 2010. The Authority took up a rejuvenation project in 2013
