Dear All,
Acting on the Public Interest Litigation filed by Environment Support
Group against Privatisation of Lakes in
Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka has directed the Forest Department to
file a report on the status of lakes in
The petition challenges the Lake Development Authority's move of leasing
lakes to private entities, who will be exploiting the water bodies for
commercial activities like setting up of hotels, boating, amusement
parks and so on. Apart from destroying nesting grounds of birds (both
local and migratory) such activities will ruin the water bodies and also
impact the ecological cycle. It will also mean giving away our public
commons to private entities, who will make profits without any regard
for the resources.
If you endorse this idea, please sign the online representation to the
Principal Chief Conservations of Forests at

Divya
