Mandya: A team of scientists from the Central Water and Power Research Station (CWPRS), Pune, have been permitted by Mandya District Administration to conduct trial blasts to study the impact of stone quarrying on Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) Dam, in Mandya District. Though the trial blasts were scheduled to begin today (Jan. 25) it has been put off to Monday (Jan. 28) due to logistical reasons.
It may be recalled here that the Karnataka State Natural Disasters Monitoring Committee (KSNDMC) had recommended the Mandya District Administration to check damages and fractures in the Dam structures in the wake of high-intensity blasts in the mining areas around the Dam.
