State moves to save Cauvery.
(From The Economic Times)
Byline: Aravind Gowda
: With three droughts behind it and a threat of another dispute over sharing of Cauvery waters looming, the Karnataka government has decided to embark on a "save Cauvery" mission.
The government has chalked out a plan to conserve catchment areas of the Cauvery river by bringing unprotected forests, where the river's tributaries flow, under wildlife sanctuaries.
"The government decided to include these forests in the existing wildlife sanctuaries, as this move will essentially protect natural resources and Cauvery catchment areas," principal chief conservator of forests (wildlife) Ram Mohan Ray told The Times of India.
About 810 sq km of these unprotected forests, which form part of the Cauvery catchment area, will be included in Brahmagiri, Pushpagiri and Talacauvery wildlife sanctuaries.
Subsequently, these sanctuaries will come under a national park, paving way for stricter enforcement of rules on conservation.
