An Indian motorcyclist negotiates away from fluffy piles of foam at Varthur Kodi junction in east Bangalore on May 1, 2015. The innocuous-looking foam, which from a distance, looks like snow covering the road is nothing but toxic effluent caused by the polluted sewage water overflowing from nearby Varthur Lake. The foam is a result of the water in the lake having high content of ammonia and phosphate and very low dissolved oxygen. Sewage from many parts of the Bangalore is released into the lake, leaving it extremely polluted. The foam spilled onto Varthur Main Road, causing a traffic pile up recently besides spreading unbearable stench in the air for about three kilometre stretch near the Whitefield, which houses several IT companies at it Softare Technology Parks of India (STPI).
