What Happened to Sarakki Lake 8 Years Ago?
Here you’ll see a video on the eviction of encroachers from Sarakki Lake in Bengaluru, India. The encroachers had been living on the lakebed for over 30 years, and the government was then evicting them to recover the land. The land was worth 2000 crore rupees, and the eviction drive was one of the largest in the city's history.

The video shows the eviction process of Sarakki Lake, which includes bulldozers, earth movers, and workers with hammers. The encroachers said that they were not given proper notice to vacate their homes, and they are angry that the government is evicting them. They also claimed that they have been paying betterment charges to the government for the land, and they do not understand why they are being evicted then.
The government says that the eviction is necessary to restore Sarakki Lake and protect it from further encroachment. They plan to hand over the recovered land to the BDNP to restore the lake.
The video ends with the eviction drive still underway. It was unclear how many people have been evicted so far by then, or how many more will be evicted. It was also unclear what would happen to the people who had been evicted.
