Mangaluru: “State government is providing false statistics related to Yettinahole project, thus trying to fool the people of Dakshina Kannada,” said MLC Capt Ganesh Karnik.

Addressing the press personnel on Thursday at district BJP office, he said that reports are saying that 24 TMC water can be provided from Yettinahole project, which is practically impossible.

“It is necessary to create awareness among people to make them know about the consequences of Yettinahole project. Netravati Rakshana Samyukta Samiti is doing a great job by holding Pancha Theertha, Saptha Kshetra Ratha Yathra which will be led by MP Nalin Kumar Kateel,” he said.

He further said that Ratha Yatre will be a good way to spread awareness among the people. It will start from Subrahmanya and will be culminated at Kateel.

Vedavyasa Kamath, Brijesh Chowta and others were present.
