Traffic on the route have come to a complete standstill owing to the protest which has been organised to pressurise the statement to drop the Yettinahole Project.

Even Belthangady MLA Vasanth Bangera and Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar are participating in the protest. The seers of Odiyoor, Vajradehi and Sridhama Maanila too have lent moral support to the protestors by sitting on the Highway in protest.

The Police Department has stepped up security arrangements to ensure that no untoward incident takes place during the protest. The protestors are likely to hold a Jail Bharo agitation too.

This Project is a total loss to the people of DK . Now itself the people of Mangalore facing a lot of water problems and what about them in the future ? The Government has taken this project to rise issue and disturb the minds of the people.

Proud of Mangloeans for supporting against Yettinahole Project . It the duty of every citizen to protect the resources from being exploited.
