Mandya, Sep 27: Film star-turned politician Ramya, in her latest Facebook post, has sought to find an answer to the Cauvery water sharing dispute.

The former Mandya MP revealed that she has written a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, requesting him for his intervention.

Here is her full post:

We all know by now that the Cauvery dispute is based on a faulty agreement.

There are certain changes and alterations to be made, most importantly on distress sharing- for eg read the Final Order of the Cauvery Water Disputes Tribunal dated 05.02.2007

-If yield of Cauvery basin is less in a distress year, the allocated shares shall be proportionately reduced among the States proportionate sharing does not calculate ground reality. This is what is causing all the problems.

Luckily for us, there is Clause XX

Clause XX of the Cauvery verdict –

Nothing contained herein shall prevent the alteration, amendment or modification of all or any of the foregoing clauses by agreement between the parties.

The Cauvery dispute will continue if we don't make the changes to the agreement, therefore it is imperative that the Prime Minister intervene in this matter, by bringing the Chief Ministers of both the states ('the parties' as in the agreement) of Tamilnadu Dr. J. Jayalalitha and Karnataka Shri. Siddaramiah together and put an end to the Cauvery dispute.

They can once and for all come up with a distress sharing formula that is agreeable to both. (The Chief Minister of Karnataka has written a letter to Shri. Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India but he has not responded as yet.)

I have written a memorandum to the Prime Minister requesting him for his valuable time and intervention, attached below.

What should you do? The one reading this- I request you all to please take a copy of this memorandum to your respective MP's in Karnataka and get their signatures.

You may then please upload a picture of the same with the MP and their signature on the memorandum on your social media profile #togetherforcauvery

Do email us a copy [email protected] will collate and put them together for submission before the Honourable Prime Minister of India, Shri. Narendra Modi.

If we all come together as people, setting aside our political differences for the sake of the people of Karnataka and Cauvery, we can make this happen- Imagine no more fighting over Cauvery-a 124 year old dispute can end!!

We can celebrate 125th year as an end to the dispute. Get started on those signatures.

Bengaluru, Mar 27: In a preparatory measure to tackle any exigency in the backdrop of spread of coronavirus, the Karnataka government has asked district administrations to use as quarantine centres the residential schools and hostels that come the under Social Welfare department.

"Wherever necessary, these residential schools and hostels can be converted as quarantine facility without any extra cost by the district administrations," Deputy Chief Minister Govind Karjol said in a statement.

The total number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka stood at 55, including two deaths and three discharged persons, as on Thursday.

Karjol, who is also the Minister in-charge of Social Welfare department said, in view of holidays for educational institutions, there were no students staying in the residential schools and hostels and hence they can be used for quarantine purpose.

All the residential schools at hostels in districts and taluks are spacious and have all required facilities like rooms, kitchen, toilets, bathrooms, libraries among others, the Minister said adding most of them were located away from densely populated areas.

Mandya, Jul 24: Pressing for a total ban on stone mining and quarrying in and around the villages surrounding Krishna Raja Sagar Dam in the District, many organisations have called for Mandya bandh on July 29.

The bandh has been supported by Raitha Sangha, Karunada Sevakara Sanghatane, Auto Drivers Association, Jaya Karnataka, Bharatiya Samvidhana Hitharakshana Vedike, Sugarcane Growers Association, Vokkaligara Seva Trust and Dalita Sangarsh Samiti (Krishnappa faction).

The activists said that the State Government must immediately take steps and permanently ban mining in 20 km radius around KRS as continuous blasting for stones is causing grave danger to the structure.
