INTACH Cultural Fest at Bangalore Fort
The Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) had organised a cultural program in the beautiful lawns of the Bangalore Fort on April 18th, the World Heritage Day. It was an evening affair. Though it was the usual busy traffic outside, the atmosphere inside the Fort was surreal.

The collection was later released as postcards. The function had many visitors - both young and old - spread out on the green lawns…
The Environment Support Group has thrown some light on this question.
These were the arguments in the hearing in the PIL filed by ESG at the High Court.
Oberoi Group – the stand of Petitioners in not allowing any development was the reason for this state of affairs.
ESG – submitted detailed notes and papers on how lakes can be maintained at low cost, and have even offered its services pro bono, which unfortunately has not been solicited by LDA.

The same can be said of the Bellandur lake. I was taking a long cycle ride via the Bellandur lake road, and saw that the lake is completely covered in weeds.Also the strong smell leaves no doubt about the health of the lake. The only water I could see was at the ends of the lake,and it was pitch black. This lake if developed can be a lung space for the city.
