3 city lakes in Mysuru to be rejuvenated this year
The restoration project encompasses cleaning, desilting and strengthening of lake bunds.
About Rs 25 crore is reserved for the rejuvenation of the lakes this year. The lakes are dying due to the heavy inflow of sewage water for years.
There are plans to install interceptor drains around the lakes to prevent untreated sewage from entering the water bodies and to prevent further pollution of the lakes. Dalvoy Lake is located off National Highway-766, while Devanur water body is situated northeast of Mysuru city.

The MDA has allocated substantial funds to establish proper drainage systems and create walking paths along the lake periphery.
MDA special land acquisition officer KR Rakshith, who is in-charge commissioner of MDA, told TOI that they have reserved funds for rejuvenating lakes. Another village lake is listed for rejuvenation under its plans.
An officer said the works will start soon, and lake rejuvenation experts will be roped in for the restoration of lakes.

The rejuvenation work includes removing water hyacinth, clearing accumulated waste and establishing natural filtration systems. Plans are also afoot to create green spaces around the lakes with native plant species.
Once restored, these lakes will serve as model projects for urban water body conservation. The authorities plan to implement similar restoration programmes for other lakes in its jurisdiction in a phased manner.

Bengaluru remembers beloved stray Pikachu as city rolls out meal plan for thousands of dogs: ‘The city has a big heart'
Even as Bengaluru makes headlines for traffic snarls and language spats, a kinder side of the city is winning hearts. In JP Nagar's Dollars Colony, right behind Clarence Public School, there's a wall that tells a story of love and loss. Carved into the stone is the face of Pikachu, not the Pokémon, but a beloved stray dog who once roamed the neighbourhood. Locals remember him fondly, and around the stone tribute are hand-written messages that show just how deeply he was cherished. The memorial was recently spotlighted by Nithin Kumar, a city resident, who made an X post saying, 'Walk behind Clarence Public School and you'll spot something special.' His post quickly resonated with Bengalureans online, especially as it coincided with a major new initiative for the city's street dogs. Walk behind Clarence Public School at Dollars Colony in JP Nagar and you'll spot something special. A little tribute to a stray dog named Pikachu. People loved him so much they made art for him. Now BBMP is feeding 5000 strays cooked chicken rice every day. @peakbengaluru… — Nithin Kumar (@nithinkumrr) July 11, 2025 Earlier this week, BBMP announced a daily feeding programme for nearly 5,000 strays across the city. On the menu was warm meals like chicken rice, egg rice, and veggies, carefully planned to offer at least 750 calories per dog. More than 100 feeding stations will also provide clean drinking water, with the goal of not just feeding but improving safety: well-fed dogs are less likely to be aggressive. 🚨 Bengaluru's civic body has launched a dog-feeding scheme worth Rs 2.88 crore, aiming to serve chicken rice daily to 5,000 stray dogs. — Indian Tech & Infra (@IndianTechGuide) July 10, 2025 Online reactions poured in, many touched by the Pikachu tribute. One user commented, 'Very happy to see that our dearest Pikachu is warming the hearts of so many people! We love him and miss him so much that we created this little shrine for him.' Others raised questions about the execution of the feeding plan. 'Don't know if they really feed the stray dogs or some middle men and politician loot tax money of hard working people?' wrote one commenter. Another said, 'Nice gesture. Would be really helpful for the dogs and commune to have 'dog shelter' so proper care is given and there are 'no' stray dogs in the street etc. Solving the root cause will be helpful.'

Career as a pilot: 5 crucial cockpit lessons every aspirant learns in training
Pilot Focused in Modern Cockpit (AI Image) When most students dream of becoming a pilot, they imagine soaring through skies, wearing crisp uniforms, and commanding the cockpit like a movie hero. But as the recent Air India crash has grimly reminded us, aviation is less about glamour and more about grit. In the tightly enclosed space of a cockpit, every switch, every second—and every silence—can mean life or death. The preliminary findings from the Air India AI‑171 crash show something chilling: both engines were cut off manually, seconds after takeoff, and the cockpit voice recorder captured confusion, not command. One pilot asked, 'Why did you cut off the fuel supply?' The other replied, 'I didn't.' No one took responsibility. Both engines shut down. 260 lives were lost. The disaster has forced the industry to revisit one unsettling truth: Flying is not just about skills; it's about psychology, procedures, and high-pressure thinking. Here's what every pilot trainee is taught—lessons that the world rarely sees, but actually shape and surprise every aspiring pilot. Flying the plane is just 10% of the job What students believe: You're in command, flying hands-on all the time. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 수천시간을 투자해서 만든 이미지영어 40분 특강 스티븐영어 지금 시작하기 Undo What they learn: The autopilot is your co-pilot—and sometimes, your boss. From the very first simulator sessions, students realise flying is less about 'stick and rudder' and more about systems management. Modern aircraft are designed to be flown through layers of automation. The pilot's true role is to monitor, anticipate, and intervene intelligently—not to constantly maneuver the aircraft like a video game. Pre-flight planning, weather checks, alternate routing, fuel load optimisation, and traffic management are just as critical as actual take-offs and landings. A large chunk of training involves understanding avionics, FMCs (Flight Management Computers), and multi-layered system checks. Reality check: A pilot isn't paid to fly. They're paid to step in when systems fail. The cockpit is designed for the brain, not the hands What students believe: Flying is a physical task. What they learn: It's a cognitive marathon. Pilots are trained in situational awareness—which means constantly knowing what's happening, what's about to happen, and what might go wrong next. You're taught to "stay ahead of the aircraft," mentally projecting the next 3–5 minutes at all times. Every button has a reason. Every silence has a protocol. Trainees are drilled to monitor six instruments at once while interpreting radio instructions and adjusting fuel mixes or flaps in real time. Key lesson: Aviation punishes reaction time and rewards anticipation. You communicate more than you navigate What students believe: Communication is just announcing positions to ATC. What they learn: Precision in language saves lives. Flight training dedicates serious time to teaching radio discipline—concise phraseology, non-negotiable callouts, and structured responses. It's not just formality. A minor miscommunication at 30,000 feet can trigger mid-air confusion or miscoordination with air traffic control. Students practice standard ICAO phraseology and learn the exact tone, pace, and timing of cockpit communications. Any hesitation, or talking over a radio channel, is considered a major procedural error. Fun fact: Pilots are marked down more harshly for talking too much than too little. Emergencies are simulated until they become boring What students believe: Emergencies are rare and terrifying. What they learn: They're routine—if you're trained right. Engine flameout, rapid cabin depressurisation, gear malfunction, fire warning mid-flight—these aren't Hollywood plot points in aviation. They're daily simulator drills. Trainees are taught to treat every emergency not as a crisis, but as a checklist execution. One of the first phrases drilled in is: 'Aviate, Navigate, Communicate.' Pilots learn to suppress emotion and switch into protocol mode. Lesson for life: In aviation, panic is not part of the workflow. Procedure is. Captain's seat comes with psychological weight What students believe: Seniority equals skill. What they learn: Leadership, not hierarchy, runs the cockpit. Multi-crew cockpit training introduces a concept called CRM (Crew Resource Management). It's about how to command, listen, question, and even disagree—without ego. Pilots must manage human dynamics: Dealing with a co-pilot's mistake, absorbing a ground controller's delay, or making decisions when there's dissent on the flight deck. Even tone of voice and posture matter during crew briefings. Captains are trained to listen actively, and First Officers are encouraged to challenge decisions that don't align with procedure. Bottom line: The cockpit doesn't run on hierarchy. It runs on mutual accountability. TOI Education is on WhatsApp now. Follow us here . Ready to navigate global policies? Secure your overseas future.
