The New Indian Express Mangaluru

ONCE infamous for its sky-high fluoride levels and Naxal terror, one of South Karnataka's most backward taluks, Pavagada, is now the epicentre of a dramatic transformation.

- BANSY KALAPPA @ Bengaluru

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will reach Pavagada by helicopter on Monday to inaugurate a twin lifeline for the region: a drinking water project and a solar power facility that could soon reclaim its spot as the largest in the world.

Only a few years ago, Pavagada's groundwater was so toxic it was unfit even for brushing teeth. Fluoride levels were reportedly five times above safety limits, crippling residents with skeletal and dental fluorosis.
