Pandavapura: A delegation of BJP Raitha Morcha inspected the ongoing works of Visvesvaraya Canal (VC) from the North Bank of the canal to Pandavapura on Tuesday.
Dr. Naveen Kumar, State General Secretary of the Morcha, who inspected the canal along with Mandya BJP District Unit President Ashok S.D. Jayaram and other leaders, said: “Works are being carried out in an unscientific way sans any technological assistance. The contractor delayed the launching of the works with merely 40 percent of the works completed due to the snail pace of executing the project. The contractor claims to complete the works within 10 days, but the situation is such that, water cannot be released into the canal even through Cauvery basin is receiving copious rainfall.”
