Bengaluru: The much-anticipated Mekedatu drinking water project, which involves constructing a balancing reservoir across the Cauvery River at the Karnataka-Tamil Nadu border, received a boost.
On Friday, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced during the Budget presentation that the identification of lands that would be submerged and a survey of the number of trees to be felled would be launched soon. He further stated that the necessary approvals from concerned departments and competent authorities would be obtained shortly for the project’s execution.
