KARNATAKA Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, who also holds the water resources portfolio, has assured the farmers of Koratagere taluk that their suggestion to shift the dam as part of the Yettinahole irrigation project from Byragondlu to a valley in the region. He also said that this proposal would be placed in the cabinet meeting for a discussion.
During his visit to the proposed project site, farmers with small land holdings of 1-2 acres urged him not to take away their land for the dam, as there is a valley in the vicinity that is ideal to construct two dams. The farmers also reminded Shivakumar that there was a proposal to build a dam at Devarayanadurga reserve forests earlier, but that plan was dropped.
