Bengaluru, May 24: As many as 114 industries located in the catchment area of Bellandur Lake have been issued orders for closure by the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board.

BESCOM authorities have already disconnected power supply to the industries ordered to be closed.

The KSPCB issued the orders for closure under section 33 (A) of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974.

The closure orders were issued following directions by the National Green Tribunal for cleaning the Bellandur Lake, which had hit media headlines due to frothing and large-scale pollution.

In spite of issue of closure direction/disconnection of power supply, if any industry is found operating using DG sets or any other mode, Karnataka State Pollution Control Board shall initiate further penal action under the relevant provisions of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, says an official press release from the Board.
