Mysuru: In a bid to lift awareness in regards to the need to save Cauvery River, regarded as the lifeline of South Karnataka, Cauvery Nadi Swachhta Andolana has organised an 18-kilometre walkathon from Mysuru to Srirangapatna on World Environment Day (June five).
Lamenting the polluted condition of the river, state convener of the forum MN Chandramohan mentioned, “Water from the river cannot be consumed immediately. In order to focus on the gravity of this downside, we've organised a walkathon from Kote Anjaneya temple in Mysuru to Srirangapatna.”
Chandramohan added that they might dangle a cleanliness force at Srirangapatna, and plant saplings to make certain that the ecological stability used to be preserved in the area. “We had undertaken a an identical workout remaining yr. A walkathon used to be organised from Madikeri to Kushalnagar, which saw participation of the general public in large numbers. We also planted saplings in large numbers,” he added.
Chandramohan mentioned that the district management had prolonged its support to the walkathon. “The 18-kilometre walkathon will see no less than 150 volunteers,” he mentioned, including that there used to be a need to get started a Clean Cauvery campaign, along the traces of the Clean Ganga initiative advocated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Chandramohan mentioned that they might get started a postcard campaign, and one lakh letters would be despatched to the PM to draw his consideration to the issues confronted by Cauvery. Urging the JD(S)-Congress government to establish a separate ministry to rejuvenate rivers, he mentioned, “Only if a separate ministry to revive and save rivers is established, will our rivers be saved from going dry.”
