Centre politicising drinking water issues: Ktaka Minister
Digital Desk | Bengaluru, Oct 29 (IANS) Karnataka Minister for Water Resources N. Cheluvarayaswamy on Thursday accused the Union government of politicising drinking water issues and alleged that it was delaying key projects such as Mekedatu and Mahadayi despite the state's pressing water requirements. Speaking after inaugurating the release of M.K. Venkataramu's book, 'The Evergreen Cauvery Conflict', at Gandhi Bhavan in Bengaluru, the Minister said the Centre was not paying adequate attention to Karnataka's concerns over drinking water projects. The event was organised by the Cauvery River Protection Committee, Kuvempu Vishwa Manava Kshema Abhivruddhi Trust and Vismaya Book House. Cheluvarayaswamy said the Supreme Court had ruled that other states could not raise objections to drinking water projects. However, he alleged that the Centre was yet to grant forest clearance for the Mahadayi project due to pressure from Goa. He said he had also appealed to Union Ministers to facilitate the implementation of the Mahadayi project and urged the Centre to take the state's drinking water needs seriously. Regarding the Cauvery water dispute, Cheluvarayaswamy said a petition had already been filed in the Supreme Court challenging the orders of the Cauvery Water Regulation Committee (CWRC) and the Cauvery Water Management Authority (CWMA) directing Karnataka to release water to Tamil Nadu. He said officials were working towards filing a review petition to bring the state's difficulties to the attention of the court once again. On the Mekedatu project, the Minister said all relevant issues had been presented before the Central Water Commission (CWC). He said 2,500 hectares had already been identified for the project, while the identification of another 2,500 hectares would be finalised. Cheluvarayaswamy maintained that the preparation and approval of the Detailed Project Report (DPR) had no connection with forest clearance and said the state government was exerting considerable pressure on the Centre to approve the DPR. He added that the Supreme Court had issued an order in Karnataka's favour, but the Centre was still delaying the process without justification. The Minister said the BJP-led Union government had benefited considerably from Karnataka, which has a significant number of BJP MPs, compared with Tamil Nadu. He expressed confidence that BJP MPs from Karnataka would join hands with the state government to address the drinking water crisis and help realise the Mekedatu project, irrespective of political differences. He also said the state would continue working to advance its irrigation projects by seeking guidance from senior engineers and experts who had contributed to efforts concerning the Cauvery River. Cheluvarayaswamy also expressed confidence that the late Kannada literary icon Kuvempu would receive the Bharat Ratna posthumously. He said it was difficult for the country to produce another personality of Kuvempu's stature and described it as a privilege to be born in the land where the celebrated writer was born. The Minister said the Karnataka government had already written to the Centre requesting the conferment of the Bharat Ratna on Kuvempu. During the programme, two books, 'Sevapatha' and 'From Mangala to Manchester', authored by T. Thimmegowda, retired founding managing director of the Cauvery Neeravari Nigam, were also released. The emblem of the association of former presidents and office-bearers of the Karnataka State Government Employees' Association was unveiled on the occasion. Adichunchanagiri Mahasamsthana Math seer Sri Sri Sri Nirmalanandanatha Mahaswamiji, Madara Channayya Gurupeetha seer Sri Basavamurthy Madara Channayya Swamiji, retired Supreme Court judge V. Gopala Gowda, state vice-chairman of the Guarantee Schemes Implementation Committee Dinesh Gooligowda, Cauvery River Protection Committee president H.K. Ramu, former MLC A. Devegowda and Professor M. Krishnegowda, among others, attended the programme.
Cyclone Arnab claimed 7 lives in Andhra, losses estimated at Rs 4,600 crore
Digital Desk | Amaravati, Oct 29 (IANS) Cyclone Arnab claimed seven lives in Andhra Pradesh and caused losses of 4,600 crore as per preliminary estimates, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said on Thursday. After an aerial survey of cyclone-hit areas, he said the losses caused by the cyclone are estimated at 4,600 crore, but this figure could increase after a detailed assessment. The Chief Minister said that he spoke to Union Home Minister Amit Shah about the damage caused by Cyclone Arnab, briefed him on the situation and the measures taken by the government and also submitted a preliminary report on the damage to the Centre. He announced that Central teams will visit the state on Friday to assess the damage caused by the cyclone, which crossed the coast on Wednesday. The Chief Minister made an aerial survey of cyclone-affected areas of B.R. Ambedkar Konaseema district, inspected the relief centres at Gachakayalapora village and interacted with cyclone victims to know their problems. Later, addressing media persons, he explained the relief and restoration measures being undertaken by the government. He said that he visited the affected areas personally to know the actual position. He said compensation of 1,500 will be provided for each damaged coconut tree and each damaged oil palm tree. Families returning from relief camps will be given 25 kg of rice, a packet of essential commodities and financial assistance for their immediate expenses. CM Naidu said farmers are already covered by the crop insurance scheme. They will receive compensation if their yields decline due to the cyclone. After assessing the damage, compensation for agricultural and horticultural crops will be credited to the beneficiaries' accounts at the earliest, he added. The Chief Minister said Andhra Pradesh has faced several cyclones in the past. Thirty years ago, on November 6, a severe cyclone, Hurricane, devastated this region. Hudhud, Titli, Montha and Arnab have also caused damage to the State. Around 70 years ago, the Diviseema cyclone claimed thousands of lives. Taking lessons from past disasters, we implemented precautionary measures and significantly reduced the loss of life. Despite all precautions, seven people unfortunately lost their lives, which is deeply distressing, he said. The Chief Minister said the government machinery was kept on high alert; continuous communication was maintained with district collectors, Superintendents of Police and other officials. Konaseema and West Godavari districts were among the worst affected. Fallen trees have been cleared since last night to restore road access. We monitored the situation from Srikakulam to Krishna district and coordinated relief operations through the Real Time Governance Society (RTGS), the Chief Minister added. We are working to minimise inconvenience to people and restore telecommunications services. Around 8,000 electricity poles have fallen in Konaseema district alone. All damaged poles will be replaced and power supply restored as quickly as possible, he said. Chandrababu Naidu said the Telangana government has been requested to send 1,000 electricity personnel to assist with restoration work. If necessary, teams will also be mobilised from Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Speaking to cyclone victims, the Chief Minister said that officials worked day and night to ensure that people faced minimum inconvenience. Around 30,000 officials were mobilised, and several precautionary measures were implemented to minimise loss of life and property.
