Moodbidri : The Nagarika Hithrarakshana Vedike of Mijar protested against the implementation of the Netravathi Diversion Project by placing Tulasi water (Tulasi Jala) near Mijar junction on March 3, Monday.
Sudhaker Poonja, Secretary of the Vedike who spoke to reporters said the corrupt who are hell bent upon rendering the Netravathi river barren by diverting it, may not get water during their last moments. It is for this reason that two litres of Netravathi water is brought and converted into Tulasi Jala after pouring it into a pot and decorating it with a Tulasi Mala, he said adding the water will be preserved to offer to the corrupt leaders during their last moments, he added.
Kishore Shetty, another member of the Vedike said a state wide protest must be organised against this destructive project.
Sudarshan Poonja, Convenor of the Vedike and others were present.
