The Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha (KRRS) has extended its support to Mandya MP Sumalatha Ambareesh who has raised concerns over illegal mining in the district and the safety of the Krishnaraja Sagar (KRS) reservoir. Addressing mediapersons here on Sunday, Badagalpura Nagendra of KRRS said that farmers and concerned activists have been raising their voice against mining and stone quarrying within a 20 km radius of the dam for over at least two decades. There are also concerns over the dangers such activities posed to the reservoir, said Mr. Nagendra. He said the KRRS, with other activist groups including Dalit Sangharsh Samiti, will launch a people’s movement to save the KRS and seek an end to quarrying.More Related News
