While Bellandur and Varthur lake are spewing toxic chemicals and foam that has made surroundings increasingly toxic, Hebbagodi lake, on the other hand, is topping charts for being the best example of lake revival process.

The Times of India reported that Hebbagodi which was once a garbage dump in an electronics city has now entered the Limca Book of Records for having India’s largest floating artificial island. The island which has an area of 12,000 square feet is covered with greenery as well as water bodies that cut through the vegetation.
