Mangaluru, Sept 14: The construction of the proposed barrage dam across River Netravati between Arekala and Adyar, about 5kms downstream Thumbe vented dam, can be completed within two years after the completion of tender process, according to minister for minor irrigation C S Puttaraju.

Puttaraju, who along with minister for urban development and housing U T Khader inspect the proposed dam construction site, told media persons that those who will lose their lands due to the dam will be provided suitable compensation.

Mr Khader said that the dam will be constructed under the Pashchima Vahini scheme at an estimated cost of Rs 174 crore. It will be a barrage cum road project, he said, adding that a 7 meter wide road will also be constructed atop the dam.

The dam is expected to meet the drinking water requirement of people of Ullal and surrounding areas in Mangaluru City constituency represented by Mr Khader.

A survey has already been conducted for the new dam and a rough estimate is ready. A detailed project report will be prepared and the process of floating tenders will begin after the proposal gets the cabinet approval. Later, the supply network and other related works will be planned based on the requirement, he said.

The two ministers also convened a meeting involving people's representatives from the coastal districts on the implementation of Paschimavahini Scheme at deputy commissioner's office.

Mysuru, Feb 21: Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa said Amulya Leona, who raised pro-Pakistan slogans, had links with Naxalites.

Yediyurappa said that Amulya's links with Naxalites have been proved in an investigation. "She must be punished and action will be taken against the people behind it," he said.

"Bail should not be given to Amulya. Her father has also said he won't protect her. Its proved now that she had contacts with Naxals. Proper punishment should be given," he added.

While speaking to reporters at Mysuru Airport, the chief minister said unless actions are taken against the organisations who provoke them to make such comments, it is not possible to control them.

Yediyurappa suspects that the incident was a conspiracy to disturb peace and harmony in the state.

Minister B C Patil said that such incidents should not repeat. "It appears that youths are misused for such anti-national activities, he said.

Bengaluru, Jul 17: The Doctors at Fortis Hospital, here on Friday, successfully treated a 97-year-old patient who suffered an embolic stroke due to calcified stenosis (narrowing of an artery resulting in restriction of blood flow).

In a release, the Hospital authorities stated that the team of doctors led by Dr Rajpal Singh, Director and Interventional Cardiologist, Fortis Hospital, Bangalore successfully conducted Carotid Artery Stenting (CAS) to increase the blood flow in the blocked areas which had resulted in stroke following stringent safety protocols and ensuring proper segregation of COVID and Non-COVID patients at the hospital.
