The increase in pollution of river Lakshmanatheertha in Hunsur has triggered concerns from the local community who have sought immediate steps to rejuvenate the river.
Though the issue has been brought to the notice of the authorities repeatedly, there is dismay that no concrete action has been taken to reduce the pollution levels in the river.
S. Sreekanth of Development through Education said that untreated drainage and sewage enters the river body at 13 different places as a result of which the water from the river is not potable.
