Upset with the poor maintenance of the historic Kelageri Lake, residents have appealed to the Deputy Commissioner to take back maintenance of the lake from the University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS), Dharwad, and hand it over to a competent authority.
The residents made this plea before Deputy Commissioner Divya Prabhu G.R.J. during her visit to the lake on Monday.
The residents told the Deputy Commissioner that the lake built by Sir M. Visvesvaraya has been badly maintained resulting in not only water getting polluted but also the surrounding area.
