Mandya: Bowing to pressure from farmers, social activists and other protesting groups, authorities of Cauvery Neeravari Nigam Limited (CNNL) have cancelled the controversial trial blasts around Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) Dam.
The blasts were to be conducted by scientists from Pune-based Central Water and Power Research Station (CWPRS) this morning to study the impact of vibrations on the Dam caused by hundreds of stone quarries surrounding the Dam. The CWPRS officials will now return to Pune without conducting the blasts.
