Our ecosystem is in grave danger and there’s no denying that. The capital is choking in smog and our rivers have dried up. The ones running have frothed foam in layers, and if that doesn’t scare you, I don’t know what will. Unless you’re a believer of the hypothesis that ‘global warming is a hype created by the Chinese’, you’ll relate to what’s coming up next!
Remember the time when we told you about Bengaluru’s Bellandur lake and the wave of toxic waste it spewed? While that was two years ago, today, unfortunately, is no different!
Bellandur lake in Bengaluru has spewed thick toxic foam again and it is even worse. So much so that the froth spilled over on to the nearby road and covered vehicles in the way.

But seems like it is no reason for alarm bells because Karnataka Chief Minister, Siddaraimah, had this to say.

“It is there, it will be solved within 1 or 2 years.”
Fortunately, the commoners are ready to fight the battles for as long as it takes.

Really, if this doesn’t scare you, I don’t know what will! When will the authorities do what they should be doing? Like I said earlier, how far can apocalypse be?
