Big City Update 🌿
Hennur Biodiversity Park Is Getting A Fresh Start
Hennur Lake Biodiversity Park is now getting a ₹1.6 crore revamp. The upgrade includes lake rejuvenation, better walking paths, repaired washrooms, fencing to prevent dumping, a children’s play area, an outdoor gym, butterfly park, bamboo groves, herbal gardens, tree signage, and improved waste management.
For people around Hennur, this is more than a civic project. It could mean a cleaner place to walk, a better space for kids, and one more reason to step outside without crossing half the city.

Bengaluru Trivia Answer 🏊♀️
At the start, we asked:
Which Bengaluru couple recently swam from Sri Lanka to India in just over 10 hours?
The answer: Danish Abdi and Vrushali Prasade.
The Bengaluru couple swam nearly 32 km across the Ram Setu route, starting from Talaimannar in Sri Lanka and ending at Dhanushkodi in India. They completed the swim in around 10 hours and 45 minutes.
And here’s the part that makes it even better: they reportedly learned swimming only a few years ago.
