Bengaluru the 4^th largest city of India has earned its reputation for its unique set of features and have been given many nicknames ranging from IT to Garden City of India. The city receives ample amount of rainfall during monsoon and keeps the climate cool and pleasant, however with the increase in urban sprawling and explosive population growth Bengaluru has lost its charm that it once had, the city was known for its plethora of gardens and lakes that created a green haven with canopy of trees lined across the busy roads.

With increase demand for housing and industrialization the Greenery in Bangalore had depleted and has greatly affected the ecological balance of the city Scientists at Indian Institute of science (IISC) have given an alarming verdict that Bengaluru be uninhabitable by 2025 which is a huge red flag to the people living in the city.

With Lake Beds getting converted to residential properties and flash floods during heavy rain and lakes being polluted   with effluents that make water bodies combustible Banglureans are in for a major trouble in the future if necessary steps are not taken at the earliest.
