Recent Fire Incident in Bangalore
In the south-eastern Bangalore particularly on Thursday 16 February at night, people observed huge columns of smoke soaring into the air. The smoke was coming from the middle of Bellandur Lake – the biggest lake in the city which is slightly above 890 acres. They realised the seemingly impossible had happened: There she saw that the lake had caught fire. People including fire fighters asked themselves how a fire in water could be extinguished.
The fire in the lake burned for 12 hours and all that was visible there in the middle was a black area that was noted by several eye-witnesses.
This is the new story of Bangalore – state capital, India’s Silicon Valley, and once upon a time known as ‘the city of lakes’. The facts why these lakes are able to get on fire make the reasons why scientists at the prestigious Indian Institute of Science have forecast that Bangalore will get uninhabitable within the next few years.
A lethal combination of factors makes it such that all that is needed for lakes to become flammable is but the smallest of catalysts. Raw sewage discharges flow into the waters from numerous industries and residences along the lake shore, big-scale dumping of waste is also a common practice here and often such rubbish as is set on fire, a large part of the lake is overgrown with some kind of green carpet – weeds.
But this is not the first time the lake has been on fire; an event that occurred in May 2015. A few days later, it again appeared on the news where it was covered with snow like froth that started flying up with the summer wind and enveloping strangers. The froth originated from chemical waste that was dumped into the lake and was of such a dangerous quality that it would crack wind shields, wear the color off the hoods of cars as well as further worsen the respiratory-related ailments that have affected the citizens in the recent past.
The most recent event was in 31st May 2024, where another big fire broke out in the ‘wooded areas’ of Bengaluru. Today’s fire is again just a fuel to the suspicion that adds, i.e., is Bengaluru turning into a city of flames? At this rate, as it was predicted by the experts, Bengaluru might become inhabitable by 2025 will come true in real time.
The pollution of water sources in Bangalore is a very dangerous problem concerning residents’ health and does not allow people to have a constant access to clean water. To sum up, according to the experts, Bangalore will face a catastrophic problem with water supply with the residents having to be relocated possibly by 2025.
