Chikkamagaluru (Karnataka) [India], July 29 (ANI): Karnataka Energy Minister KJ George on Monday laid the foundation stone for the main drainage line installed by the Municipal Council in the Yagachi pit in the Chikkamagaluru district in the state.
The project covers 6.50 km and was executed by Chikkamagaluru Karnataka Urban Infrastructure Development and Finance Corporation at an estimated cost of INR 14.5 crores.
Karnataka Minister further pleaded for the support and cooperation from the locals stating that it is crucial for the success of the project.
Under the National Green Tribunal Environmental Relief Fund, this scheme has been designed to prevent water pollution by adding sewage to the Yagachi pit under Chikkamagaluru Municipal Council.
The target is to complete the work in 12 months, a milestone that will significantly improve our local environment and make us all proud of our collective efforts.
The project is expected to bring changes in the drainage system, ensuring effective wastewater management and improving sanitation across our municipality.
Yagachi River is a river in Karnataka which is a major tributary of Hemavati river. It rises in the Baba Budan Hill Range near the city of Chikkamagaluru and flows through Belur taluk in the Hassan district of Karnataka.
Earlier on July 11, on the concerns of linking Aadhar numbers to IP set RR numbers, Karnataka’s Energy Minister KJ George clarified that linking Aadhaar numbers to IP set RR numbers is primarily for record-keeping purposes.
Addressing a press conference at the Bellary district panchayat hall on Thursday, the minister highlighted that this initiative aims to accurately assess the number of IP sets and ensure efficient electricity distribution.
“In Karnataka, agricultural pump sets up to 10 HP and already receive free electricity. However, to prevent power disruptions caused by illegal pump sets and to accurately gauge the electricity needs, Aadhaar linkage is essential,” said K.J. George.
Energy Minister K J George reiterated the state’s unwavering commitment to providing uninterrupted power, even during droughts. The plan is to ensure seven hours of electricity daily without load shedding. This will be achieved through demand-based electricity allocation and regular district-level meetings every three months to address any interruptions. (ANI)
