Bengaluru: As the city's Bellandur lake continued to spew 'toxic froth' raising concerns among residents in its vicinity, Karnataka chief minister Thursday said the problem will be solved in one or two years.

Torrential rains that hit the city in the last few days has aggravated the situation with thick froth spilling on to the road nearby causing inconvenience to commuters driving along the stretch. Videos showing cars being engulfed by a large pack of froth, purportedly taken near Bellandur lake, have now gone viral.

The residents nearby the lake are the worst hit with froth flying all over the area and strong stench emerging from the polluted water. Residents who complain about coming in contact with toxic froth flying all around, have expressed fear about them developing disease.

Speaking to reporters in Delhi about the frothing lakes in Bengaluru, Siddaramaiah said government is taking all necessary actions. When pointed out about it being a long standing issue, he said "it is there...it will be solved in one or two years."

The statement from chief minister has come at a time when the National Green Tribunal (NGT) Thursday reportedly pulled up the state government regarding the pollution of the lake and asked it to submit compliance report on its earlier direction, on August 22.
