Madikeri: CM unfolds Ganga model purification plan for River Kaveri


Daijiworld Media Network – Madikeri (SP)

Madikeri, Nov 4: Karnataka chief minister, Siddaramaiah, noted that River Kaveri, lifeline of Karnataka, is getting increasingly polluted. He said that his government will soon draft a purification plan for this river a la River Ganga.

He was speaking after initiating a number of development works in the district at a function organized on Monday November 3 at Gandhi Maidan here.










'Over the last some years, water of River Kaveri, which takes birth from Kodagu, has been rendered more and more dirty. Like the central government's ambitious plan of purifying River Ganga, we too have felt a need to purify water of this river. A blueprint of this project will be finalized soon after consulting experts in the field,' he promised.

He disclosed that as part of the government's commitment to develop Kodagu, an over bridge will be built across River Kaveri at its origin, Bhagamandala.

He said his party, during the last 18 months it has been in power, had made honest efforts to meet its election promises, and that about 95 out of 165 promises had been met. 'Our aim is to ensure that every poor man gets BPL card. Out of the annual plan expenditure of Rs 65,000 crore, 22 percent goes to scheduled castes and tribes. Our government is the only one to have set aside as high as Rs 15,830 crore for these categories of people,' he claimed.

Siddaramaiah said that the road between Bangalore and Bantwal via Mysore and Madikeri has already been announced as national highway, adding that people can expect this road to see further improvements soon.

    No one is less in looting the country my dear, all are same. We will have to wait and watch, what the present government is capable of. Its too early to judge about the level corruption or level of developments. At present current government is just doing inauguration of previous governments projects and giving big talks on development. Just have a patience. As far as i have noticed there is not much change in functioning of previous government and the current government. Still its too early to judge.

    Mr. CM, kindly look into the law and order situtation in all the Districts of Karnataka and limited to only Bangalore? MLA's and citizens are good enough to take care of Kavery cleaning. We don't need a CM to spend his expensive time in such matters. Matters like law and order, supply of drinking water, power cut issues, drainage facilities, Medical assistance to the old and the needy, issues faced by farmers need to be attended as well. But don't limit this issues to be rectified to Banalore. Because Karnataka is not only Bangalore.

    Govt should stress on de-soiling all the silt filled lakes of Bangalore than giving in for the real-estate mafia of Bangalore. Atleast Earth Water table may be contributed by this. Also stress for making Rain water harvesting a Mandatory procedure and deepen the river bed of all the rivers of Karnataka filled with Silt. Atleast sand prices may come down a bit and more water can be conserved atleast for the future generation.

    Let anybody promote Cleanliness drive, support it whole heartedly.
    Don't bring divisive politics here.
    Cleanliness is everybody's requirement.
    Nation's image and health is spoiled because all over the world, India is seen as DIRTY Country!
    I really can't bear when people call us dirty.
    It's o.k. if others call us poor country but not dirty.

    See the beautiful smile of these Madikeri girls. Hope, Ganga, Kaveri and all rivers and lakes of our country be brought to their purity and cleanliness that nature had bestowed.
    "Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
    Where knowledge is free
    Where the world has not been broken up
    Into fragments by narrow domestic walls
    Into that heaven of freedom
    My father, my country awake."

    Copy cat!! Yet another way to garner funds for the forthcoming elections and pocket some of it from the industrialists polluting the river. Ultimately, it will be BJP's responsibility to cleanse Cauvery too as lot of water would have flown down till then!!!
