Siddaramaiah requested to ensure Maharashtra release water into Krishna River
Bharatiya
Janata Party (BJP) leader from Chikkodi, Mahantesh M. Kavatagimath, MLC
has requested Chief Minister Siddaramaiah to ensure that Maharashtra
releases water from its Kalammawadi and Koyna dams in Kolhapur and
Satars districts into Krishna river to provide drinking water to the
residents and live stock living along the river in the down stream.
He
said the water level in both Krishna and its tributary Dudhaganga River
had become stagnant leading to pollution and further resulting in
deaths of fishes and also making it non-potable for drinking purpose.
For reasons which could not be immediately ascertained, Maharashtra had
stopped releasing water from Koyana dam across Krisha river and
Kalammawadi dam across Dudhaganga river for the past few couple of days,
resulting in stagnation and pollution of water and further creating
during water shortage in villages of Kallol, Manjari, Yadur, Ingali,
Karadaga, Sadalga, Examba, Janwad, Malikwad and few other habitations
along the two rivers flowing through Chikkodi taluk in the downstream.
He
also urged the district administration to take up the matter
immediately with their counterparts in Kolhapur and Satara and prevail
upon them to release water immediately.
