An enormous crest of flame was spotted exuding apparently immediately from the seriously dirtied Bellandur lake on Friday morning. The smoke, which could be spotted from kilometers away, is being watched almost a year after a comparative tuft of smoke grabbed the attention and welcomed the fury of the National Green Tribunal.

The fire was first spotted around 10 a.m., and has tempered just around mid-evening. Be that as it may, littler crest of smoke from numerous spots could at present be seen, said Sonali Singh, who lives close-by. "It seems like a methane burst because of the expanding contamination in the lake.

There is a little focal point of profound yellow flares, maybe from the methane, and immense volumes of yellow-ish tinged smoke," she said. While a fire division delicate was sent to the detect, the vehicle couldn't get to the point of the fire, said authorities. "We will remain on the banks as a standby. However, we can't achieve the place of the fire which is amidst the wetlands," said an authority.

It was in February 2017 that a comparative fire had seen the NGT taking up a suo motu case, and in the end prompt weight on the state government to figure intends to tidy up the more than 700-section of land lake. The lake gets more than 480 million liters of crude sewage from the city every day.
