Civic Mess

Yellow and red flowers have recently bloomed amidst the sewage inflow in the K-100 canal, a testament to nature's resilience even in adverse conditions.

The K-100 canal, which originates from the erstwhile Dharmambudhi Lake near Majestic, runs through densely populated areas such as KR Market, Lalbagh, Shanthinagar, Koramangala, Neelasandra, and Agara, covering a span of 9.2 kilometers. It ultimately flows toward Bellandur.

According to officials, approximately 3.7 million liters of water currently flow through the canal daily.

Despite the floral blooms, the canal's persistent issues of sewage inflow and solid waste dumping remain unaddressed.
