The future dwellers of KG Layout are on a mission to save lakes in the sprawling housing colony from pollution and encroachment.
People who bought sites in the upcoming layout, as well as farmers who parted with their land for it, want the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) to protect the two waterbodies of KG Layout: Kannahalli and Soolikere lakes. They say the time to act is now before the matter goes out of hand and the layout fully takes shape.
KG Layout is a residential locality developed by the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) in western Bengaluru, abutting Mysuru Road and Magadi Road. It has thousands of sites and is currently undergoing civil works.
