Mittaganahalli landfill, sitting on 287 crore litres of leachate, leaks into Srinivasapura Lake
The waterbody had eroded bunds, rampant growth of invasive species, and poor water quality. In June 2024, a non-governmental organisation took up rehabilitation and conservation works using CSR funds, which are currently ongoing.However, the restoration has now encountered a new challenge, as leachate from the landfill has been flowing into the water body through an inlet for the past week. This is not the first time leachate has entered the water body, as the problem occurred in 2025 and was fixed.
