The Bellandur lake in Bengaluru drew the attention of national media recently after its polluted water caught fire. The development created panic among the local residents and environment activists of the city. When the Deccan Herald team visited the lake on Tuesday, the fire was still burning under thick layers of foam. The heavy flow of sewage into the lake has led to the accumulation of methane and oil in froth. This is said to be the cause of fire.
