The white froth over the lake is majorly the result of a direct?discharge of untreated domestic waste in it

The Bellandur lake in Bengaluru continues to pollute the city with untreated sewage "overflowing" out of the lake. The lake once inhabited flourishing ecosystem has now reduced to a stinking drain. The lake burned for hours in 2015 when it caught fire in May. The city also witnessed the foam "overflowing" out of the lake during the recent rain in the city. The situation has not changed much as the frothing continues even today. #Bengaluru: #Visuals of Bellandur Lake, residents say "situation has not changed much as frothing continues, poses a major health risk" pic.twitter.com/thK3N46kkb — ANI (@ANI) November 22, 2017 × The white discharge from the lake overflows into residential areas and roads, often disrupting the traffic.
