Canal project: more funds sought

DAVANGERE: B.P. Harish, chairman of the Bhadra Command Area Development Authority, said that a delegation from Davangere had recently met Deputy Chief Minister B. S. Yediurappa and Minister for Water Resources K.S. Eshwarappa and impressed upon them to release another Rs.130 crore to the ongoing modernisation works of the Bhadra canals so as to ensure that adequate steel would be used in the works.

Talking to reporters here on Friday, Mr. Harish said that he had learnt that adequate steel was not being used in the modernisation works and added how they could put reinforcement in the canals without using steel. He said that he had hold discussions with many senior officers of the Niravari Nigam and the Water Resources Department and some senior engineers, including K.C. Reddy. and would be consulting other senior engineers and agencies too.
