The State president of Raita Sena Karnataka Veeresh C. Sobaradmath Swami has alleged that both the State and Union governments were least bothered about expediting the process to clear the hurdles for the implementation of the Kalasa Banduri Nala Project and the leaders from the State too were not concerned about the long pending issue.
Addressing presspersons in Hubballi on Saturday, Mr. Sobaradmath said that while the Union government had taken measures that would further delay the project, the State government too seemed little concerned about the project.
“According to the reply (dated January 5) given by Deputy Inspector General of Forests and Central Public Information Officer Mahesh Kumar Shambu to my letter, the State government had failed to provide clarifications to the queries raised by the Ministry of Environment Forests and Climate Change. According to the reply, the Ministry had sent three letters dated 30/1/2023, 07/09/2023 and 29/09/23 seeking clarifications on certain aspects of proposals from Karnataka Neeravari Nigam Limited and till date no reply has been given to the queries raised. Instead, the government had only resubmitted the proposal,” he said.
