flag Karnataka's governor returns lake buffer zone bill, citing environmental risks and lack of compliance.

flag Karnataka Governor Thawar Chand Gehlot has returned the KTCDA Amendment Bill 2025 to the state government, citing concerns over reducing lake buffer zones to 30 meters. flag The move follows objections from the Bengaluru Town Hall Association, which warned the change could harm lakes, violate environmental laws, and threaten water security. flag The governor questioned the rationale for shrinking buffers instead of expanding them, stressing the need to protect ecological balance. flag He requested detailed government responses on the bill’s compliance with central guidelines. flag The decision has sparked broader debate on urban lake conservation, especially in Bengaluru, where buffer zones are vital for preventing pollution and encroachment.
