Mysuru: Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, accompanied by his wife Anitha Kumaraswamy, Water Resources Minister D.K. Shivakumar, Tourism Minister S.R. Mahesh, Higher Education Minister G.T. Devegowda, Minor Irrigation Minister C.S. Puttaraju and Transport Minister D.C. Thammanna, offered ‘bagina’ at the Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) Dam last evening. It was his third ‘bagina’ at KRS after he performed the same rituals at Harangi and Kabini Dams. He said that bountiful rain had brought relief to the people of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, and described the current situation as “nature’s solution” to the problems faced by the two States over sharing of waters. The four major dams in the Cauvery basin, including KRS, have reached their full-reservoir level after eight years, bringing much-needed delight to farmers and residents.
