People and activists of Kolar and Chickballapur districts are hopeful that various water projects, that would bring water to the two parched districts, would get a fillip under the new Congress government, which has got a comfortable majority in Karnataka.
The two districts had seen a “Vote for Water” campaign in the run up to the Assembly polls and Congress has won 4 of 6 seats in Kolar and three of five seats in Chickballapur, in the recently concluded Assembly polls.
Activists from the two districts seem to have lost hope on the success of Yettinahole Project that plans to provide water from Netravati river to the two districts and are now pinning their hopes on providing treated water from Koramangala-Challaghatta Valley and Hebbal-Nagawara Valley projects, that were initiated by Congress, during its earlier tenure.
