Mangaluru, June 12, 2016 :  K N Somashekhar of Paschima Ghatta Samrakshana Samithi  has accused   former union minister  Veerappa Moily and  Yettinahole Project Superintendent Engineer  Venugopal of  misleading people  by stating that all hurdles in the way of the implementation of the project have been cleared. He also warned that  contempt case would be filed against them if they did not apologise within 15 days.

Speaking to reporters here on June 11, Saturday he said  three petitions regarding the Yettinahole Project are still pending with the  South Zone of the National Green  Tribunal and that the court has not  issued any order in favour of the project. He said the petitions filed by Purushottam Chitrapur of Mangaluru, Kishore Kumar of Hassan and Yatiraj of Tumkur are  still pending and that the  hearing is fixed on July 4. When the cases pertaining to the project are before the Tribunal, saying  that all  hurdles are cleared is tantamount to contempt of court, he said adding a  lawyer notice has already been served to both Moily and  Somashekhar.
