Fiat to panchayats

By Our Staff Reporter

MADIKERI, SEPT. 12. The State Government has asked the zilla panchayats to take up awareness programmes on the proposed `inter-linking of rivers' in the country consistent with the directions of the Union Government.

According to sources, the task force on inter-linking of rivers, Union Ministry of Water Resources, has sent pamphlets, brochures, and other publicity material to the State to distribute them among zilla panchayats.

It has also asked the State to involve NGOs, educational institutions, and farmers' organisations in the district and block levels for disseminating information on inter-linking of rivers.

The Centre set up the task force on December 13, 2002, with the former Union Minister, Suresh P. Prabhu as its chairman.
