Water crisis in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi: Who is to be blamed?
May 11: it is known that coastal districts are facing acute water crisis for a long time now. Padmanabh Ullal, NGO Federation Director has blamed government and district administration for their lack of foresight in
tackling water crisis in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts.

Despite of collecting hefty lake cess for development of lakes, no lake has been rejuvenated in Mangalore city. He alleged that the authorities were engaged in sinking borewells to mitigate water crisis instead of recharging the borewells and open wells. He evn said that the authorities have failed to check illegal water connections from the main pipeline that supplies water to Mangalore from Thumbe vented dam.
Federation President B S Chandru said that a separate water supply pipeline should be laid for industries, including MRPL, MCF and UPCL.
