 Bengaluru: Nodal Officers have been appointed for 140 lakes for full supervision along with protection of lakes under the jurisdiction of BBMP, proper management, disposal of citizens' complaints, prevention of encroachment, strengthening of security system.

 Although there are 210 lakes under the jurisdiction of BBMP, nodal officers have been assigned to only 140 lakes which require development, rehabilitation and supervision.

 Ward, Solid Waste Management, Bulk Drainage, Planning, Quality Assurance, Urban Planning, Technical Development Committee Cell (TVCC), Technical Engineering Cell (TEC) Division, Zonal Engineers are responsible for Nodal Officer.

 Responsibilities of Nodal Officers: Contractors appointed for lake maintenance should remove the reeds and plants growing in the water stagnation area, the slope of the lake. Lake pavement should be kept clean. Silt should be removed in inlet silt trap. Solid waste should be cleared. These works should be supervised by the nodal officer.

 The Home Guard personnel appointed for the security of the lake should confirm that they are on duty in the prescribed shift. The gates of the lake should be opened at scheduled times for public promenade. Encroachment should be prevented. The wire fence on the border should be maintained. Unnecessary/ illegal incidents should be avoided.

The Chief Commissioner has suggested that the nodal officer should check that the staff of the lake department inspects the lake and disposes of the complaints.

 Weekly Report: The responsible person assigned to the Nodal Officer and the information related to the lakes should be submitted to the Chief Commissioner every week in weekly form. Officials said that there should also be details of resolving the complaints of the public.

 The software is still not correct!

 Deputy Chief Minister D.K. said that the management of the lake and gardens will be given to the citizens. Shivakumar had promised at the 'Brand Bangalore Conference'. Accordingly, registration was invited on the website for the 'Kere Mitra' and 'Hasiru Mitra' project. However, due to the failure of the BBMP software and the apathy of the citizens, only 1,158 people were registered at the end of 31st, which was the last day.

 Special Commissioner of Lakes Department Preeti Gehlot said that 'this software will be corrected and citizens will be allowed to register again'. But, so far the software is not perfect.

 BBMP is spending more than ₹10 lakh to prepare a mobile app for management of lake and garden works and disposal of complaints. However, this work has not been completed by the BBMP IT department so far,' said the BBMP officials.

 The Officials do not know!

 Although the Chief Commissioner Tushar Girinath has issued an order on December 2 appointing him as the nodal officer to oversee the lakes, the officials have no information about this. Many officials responded that 'I am the ward engineer, I am the executive engineer of solid waste management, I am the superintending engineer... I have nothing to do with the lake'. 'The Chief Commissioner has issued an order...' and the officials said, 'It has not been noticed, there is someone else to take care of the lake'.
