Greens in Malnad region recall Bahuguna’s visit
The Hindu
He had visited the site of Gundia hydel power project in solidarity with those opposing it
Environmentalist Sunderlal Bahuguna of ‘Chipko movement’ fame, who succumbed to COVID-19 on Friday, is fondly remembered by the people of Maland region. Mr. Bahuguna and his wife, Vimala Bahuguna, had visited Hassan in 2009, extending support to environmentalists fighting against the Gundia hydel power project in Sakleshpur taluk. Already in his 80s then, he had inspired youngsters to continue their fight against the project. He had also visited Ambuteertha, near Thirthahalli, in January 2005 to inaugurate a march from Ambuteertha to Honnavar, organised by environmentalists to save the Sharavati.More Related News
