Bengaluru: Taking the issue of destructive Railway line and Highway projects to the seat of power in Bengaluru, President of Coorg Wildlife Society and Coordinator, Save Kodagu and Cauvery Campaign Colonel (retired) C.P. Muthanna addressed a press conference at the Press Club here yesterday. He made a fervent plea to the State Government not to bow to the pressure by Kerala Government in sanctioning land for the Railway line.
Appealing Bengalureans to raise voice against the Railway and Highway projects, he said that River Cauvery that provides drinking water to most of the city areas will go dry once the Railway projects (Thalassery-Hunsur-Mysuru via South Kodagu and Hunsur-Periyapatna-Kushalnagar-Madikeri-Mangaluru) are implemented.
