Ponnampet: After fighting legal battles for years against the destruction of River Cauvery catchment areas in the name of development, people of Kodagu finally hit the streets this morning and demanded scrapping of projects that would destroy the greenery and upset the ecological balance. Thousands attended a massive protest rally held in Kutta, a border village in south Kodagu, and opposed the destructive projects.
Coming under the banner ‘Save River Cauvery’, volunteers from various Kodava Samajas, close to about 50 organisations, ex-servicemen, planters and farmers took part in the rally beginning from Ponnampet and culminating at Kutta.
