It raised a huge controversy when this pond was found to have turned pink due to pollution, from the nearby textile industry. The surrounding 13 industries were sealed and most people working there lost their jobs.
It turned into a political controversy. AP govt immediately ordered for investigation, and planned to call a team from europe. The industries were re-opened when DR.C.H.Venkata Ramana, a microbiologist in the department of plant sciences, Univ. of Hyd, Gachibowli, proved that the colour of the pond is due to a new species of bacteria and not because of any pollutants.
The current official response is that the pink colour of the pond is due to a pink coloured bacteria which has overgrown in the pond. Thats why the popular name for the pond was coined PINK POND.
