Udupi : Sri Vishwesha Theertha Swamiji of Pejawar Mutt  has said that the district which has already suffered extensive destruction of natural resources due to the UPCL thermal power plant, can no longer afford to suffer more damages in the form of another power project.

Speaking to reporters, the seer filed his strong objection to the proposed ultra mega thermal power project at Niddodi and said the district is no longer ready to face another danger.

He urged the farmers as well as residents of the locality to file strong objection to the proposed project and called upon people to sink differences and fight against the proposed project.  The seer said he would join the people in their agitation against the project and also recalled the agitation launched by him opposing the environmental pollution caused by the UPCL.
