Days after a fishkill incident was reported at Chikkanagamangala lake, Zonal Commissioner (South Zone), Jayaram Raipura on Friday, August 25, inspected the leachate treatment unit that was set up by a private firm at the Solid Waste Processing Plant in the village.
Residents of the area had alleged leachate that was going into the lake contaminated the water resulting in fishkill and demanded the BBMP to shut down the plant. The plant has always remained a bone of contention but BBMP is firm about running it.
Recently, a private firm had set up a leachate treatment unit in the plant and is running it on an experimental basis. Jayaram Raipura, after inspection, said that the plant will be made fully operational after clearance from Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB).
