Mysuru: Higher Education Minister and Chamundeshwari MLA G.T. Devegowda (GTD) has asked officials to take up the survey for Hale Unduwadi Drinking Water Project that is in a limbo due to land tangle between government agencies.
It is GTD’s pet project and it had recently got a boost when Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy released an initial funding of Rs. 50 crore when he presented the Budget. This project aims at getting Cauvery water from KRS backwaters instead of the present practice of lifting water from the canals. The project is designed to take care of Mysuru’s water needs at least for 100 years.
