Toxic Bellandur Lake in BangaloreA general view of the Bellandur Lake on the outskirts of Bangalore , India , 27 February 2017 . Hundreds of electroplating and e - waste recycling units in the cityâ €™ s industrial pockets discharge highly polluting chemicals into the water streams , which flow into lakes and merge to a deadly concoction of phosphates , nitrates and other industrial pollutants . The pollution reportedly even caused the Bellandur Lake waters recently to catch fire due to the toxic effluents . The Delhi based National Green Tribunal ( NGT ) asked officials to list out the steps taken so far to revive the water body and directed to file an affidavit within two weeks explaining what steps they have taken for the preservation of the lakes in the city .
