About 30 electric poles placed inside Rachenahalli lake premises in Dasarahalli for development purposes were allegedly stolen by burglars in the night hours when the Home Guard was sitting near the main gate of the 104 acre lake. An FIR is filed at Amruthahalli police station.
On July 14, the Home Guard, identified as D.R. Basavaraj, who was deployed to guard the lake, took a stroll around the lake at around 8 p.m. and ensured construction and other materials are safe. According to Basavaraj, the area was receiving moderate to heavy downpours making it impossible to stand inside the lake premises.
