NEERI had suggested remedial measures, including deepening by removing silt and superficial sediment
The High Court of Karnataka has directed the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) to immediately initiate measures to restore three lakes, including Kamakshipalya lake, that has no water as half the area was used for other purposes and the remaining portion is an open field.
In the case of Arehalli lake, the court directed BBMP to take steps for de-watering the lake before desilting, and removal of superficial sediment up to a depth of three metres. The works of removing unwanted silt up to a depth of two metres and deepening of Tavarekere lake will be undertaken as per the recommendations of National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI).

The High Court of Karnataka on Wednesday directed the State government to consider issuing a general direction for all the urban and rural local bodies to ensure that no person is allowed to clean a sewer manually except in certain circumstances as per the Rule 3 of the Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Rules, 2013.
A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka and Justice Sachin Shankar Magadum issued the direction while hearing PIL petitions by the All India Council for Trade Unions and the High Court Legal Services Committee complaining about non-implementation of the provisions of the Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act, 2013.
