A day after the Palike attempted to put up a construction at the Yediyur lake, it now appears that the project had been planned for a while.
According to local residents, the draining of lake started last week with the demolition of the lake bund, surreptitiously. Anand, a local resident, said he was witness to the act when he was walking along the lake.
