The Commissioner who went to the embankment saw the sewage coming into the pond through the inlet and suggested that the entire pond was polluted and steps should be taken to divert it.  The officials of the Municipal, Revenue, and Agriculture Departments should coordinate and conduct a comprehensive survey regarding the pond.  As per the request of members of the Bandari LayOut Community Association, the pond was fully inspected.  He inspected the Neknampur small pond in Narsingi and learned the details of the constructions in the buffer zone.
