Mysuru: Mysuru District Journalists Association (MDJA) and Yukta Prakashana together had organised a function at Pathrakartara Bhavan here this morning for the release of the book ‘Kodagina Thallana,' a collection of true stories behind the recent natural calamity in Kodagu, written by I. Ramesh Uthappa.
Speaking on the book, Professor Dr. Besur Mohan Palegar said that the 11 chapters of the book have thrown light on man-made ecological imbalance in Kodagu with indiscriminate construction of homestays and resorts. He added that farmers have taken up growing commercial crops consuming a lot of water thus disturbing the environment.
