Mangalore, Mar 5: Members of All College Students' Union on Wednesday March 5 gathered near Mangalore International Airport at Bajpe in anticipation of union minister Dr M Veerappa Moily's arrival, in order to protest his entry into the city for having approved the controversial Yettinahole project.

However, the minister did not show up as the MRPL programme was cancelled at the last minute due to the enforcement of election code of conduct from Wednesday.

Moily was scheduled to attend the MRPL programme wherein the phase 3 of the project, OMPL aromatic complex and ISPRL underground caverns were to be dedicated to the nation.

The Students' Union in a press meet on Tuesday March 4, expressing anger over Yettinahole project, had warned that its members would gherao Moily and show him black flags if he entered the city.

Moily was scheduled to land at Mangalore airport at 6 pm, but the protestors reportedly got prior information that he would be arriving early in order to avoid attention, and hence they gathered at spot well in advance.

Around 40 protestors holding black flags shouted slogans against Moily and waited for his arrival.

The Bajpe police led by circle inspector Narasimhamurthy and SI Anantha Murdeshwar arrived at the spot and ordered them to leave. When they learnt that Moily had cancelled his visit, the protestors vacated the spot.

Union president Dinakar Shetty, Nemiraj Shetty, Uttam Alva, Rakshith Poojary, Ashwith Kottary and others were part of the protest.

    AAP is fighting hard against corruption so such projects are important to bring corruption levels back on track and help fill the pockets of ministers and public servants.

    Dear Joy....
    What do you know about AAP?
    The picture that now comes before most when they think of 'AAP' is a 'Muffler Don' rolling in the streets of New Delhi at night , when he was the CM! Now the party has resorted to full time Vandalism! No diplomacy acting like Rogues and Mawaali's!
    One had high hopes at the start but now something starting from AA
    gives one the shudders!!

    Yes, yesterday there was news of U.T. Khadar retracting his statement and supporting Yettinahole project! What will the All Students Union now do?
    It was pathetic to see a 'gheraoed'
    Khader change track fearing backlash and even physical lashes! This 'news' was hushed up in the corners and even in this portal! Why?
    Ever since Jossey has started thinking of Sunny Leonne he has
    started seeing images of Rivers their tributaries , diversion and all that! It happens in rare cases
    and Jossey is indeed one!That's why I want him in my panel with Langoola! See Langoola's spirited reply to him about disjointing limbs and all that!
    Lage Raho Jossey !
    Hangaa Ailyaar Maathr
    Petu Khaasheee!!!

    He will come in 'White Uniform' only and in case of 'Gherao',would pass off as one of the 'male nurses' working in that hospital very easily....Jossey can keep him company too wearing a white dress..

    Again Jossey comment below ...

    This project will end up something similar to Varahi project in Udupi region , I am seeing the canal since my childhood( almost 20 years) never seen a of water in it.

    Local contractors made nice money out of it ,several become millionaires, still it is continuing, it will run for another 50 years ,I know how this entire system work. Pay money to government get a contract approved.

    Same expertise approved that project 30 years back . why we are not able to complete still now ! This project is 10 times bigger than varahi - I am sure this project will be oen more fail after Varahi...

    Contractors are already in Banglore to get the deals I think ... :) :)

    Not only Varahi what about APMC Mangalore? How long it is vacant by vacating the residents of the area and spending crores of rupees? Our leaders have no will power to complete the project since every year 20% increase will fetch more commission

    Yesterday Kudlada Tiger(Pili) U.T.Khader was in Kolar and gheraoed by the people for his opposition to Yettinahole project.Seeing the crowd and afraid of delinking of joints in legs by the people he easily succumbed and retracted from his earlier stand and pledged support to the project.Now he is pili in Kudle and yeli elsewhere.This not only his problem but for all the MLAs of DK and even MP also.
    We are fit to agitate for incidents like Morning Mist Homestay attack(Gay party politically modified as birthday party)I am sure no Vedike's in DK worth of its salt are capable of opposing Yettinahole Project.

    Dear Jai hooooooo sir,
    Yettina hale....
    Rate hole....
    ...to know exactly how many holes are there,one should seek the advice from Custom Officials in Bajpe airport who have lots of experience/experimenting in finding out the number of ' hole' during a check up of air passengers coming from Gulf to find out smuggled gold hidden in "various holes"!!!!
    Dear Bandhumam can through some light here who knows some tips about 'hole'......

    Irony is, very few people gathered, I think it's late evening !! Also, people don't know from where water is bring diverted, still is confusing netravathi or yettinahole , how they can draw the line between yettinahole and netravathi in Western Ghat, end of the day some part of Western Ghat will collapse..

    Not many people (including students) know that Yettinahole is just a tributary of Netravati River and only water from Yettinahole tributary is being diverted to provide drinking water to Kolar, Chikballapur, Bangalore rural, Ramanagaram, Tumkur, Hassan and Chitradurga regions. So why all this KOLAVARI...

    Dear Jossy,
    Sitting in Mumbai you do not poke your nose. Let it be a river or tributary. Why to divert. You have a river in Shimoga, Hassan and the Cauvery. Take the water from there.

    Dear Rehna, Mangalore, Dr. Paramashivaiah Committee report was submitted in 2006 after which five national water experts were asked to check out the technical, financial and environmental feasibility. Only after that Yettinahole project was given approval. Who are we to challenge the EXPERTS…

    Jossey,

    Many tributaries makes a river,,, not only Yettina Hole,,, they are taking water from four more tributaries of Netravati other than Yettina Hole...

    You have 4 limbs( 2 hands and 2 legs),,, how about taking one and giving it to somebody who has 2 limbs and making both 3 each???

    You blindly support congress. Don't be partisan , if you are educated you would have objected.. Bishop of mangalore is learned person, not a politician, he himself objected to this project. Hope you wont write i am smarter or more informed than Bishop of Mangalore.
