Shivamogga
Whenever the proposal to utilise water from River Sharavathi to quench the thirst of Bengalureans surfaces in the corridors of power in the capital, novelist Na. D’Souza from Sagar in Shivamogga district raises his voice to oppose it. He led a series of protests against such a move in 2019. Again, recently, when the talk on the project resurfaced, the writer reiterated his stand and appealed to the people of Malnad to oppose it, highlighting the damage the project could cause.
