Gadag, Feb 18: A project action plan to provide water to every drinking water tank for people and livestock in Rona and Gajendragad taluks at a cost of Rs. 115 crore has been prepared and sent to the government for approval, and approval will be received soon, said Mineral Development Corporation Chairman and MLA G.S. Patil.
He spoke after performing a ground-breaking ceremony for the CC road and lake development work by the ZP, TAP, Grama Panchayat Hosalli and Dharmasthala Rural Development Project in the Grama Panchayat premises of Hosalli village in the taluk.
Water for more than 25 large lakes
More than 25 large lakes are already being filled with water to avoid water problems in summer. In addition, many more lakes are in a bad condition without a water source, and an important plan has been launched to identify them and fill all those lakes with water at a cost of Rs. 115 crore. He said that the work will be carried out after getting approval from the government soon.
Under the Chief Minister’s Special Development Scheme for Hosalli village, a CC road will be constructed in the village at a cost of Rs. 70 lakh, and under the ZP Unrestricted Scheme, the road from Hosalli Cross to Jakkali will be developed at a cost of Rs. 11.70 lakh. A new library building will be constructed at a cost of Rs.15 lakh. He said that the development of a public drinking water lake at a cost of Rs.8 lakh from the Dharmasthala Rural Development Scheme is a good move.
MLAs’ attack on BJP
The Congress government has been paying off the Rs.75,000 crore loan taken during the BJP regime, and in addition, the grant required for the guarantee scheme has been adjusted. The success of the guarantee for the BJP is evidenced by the benefits received from the guarantee scheme by the people.
Dharmasthala Rural Development Project District Director Keshav Devanga said that Dharmasthala Sangha was established to provide economic development and self-reliant livelihood to the people of rural areas. The Sangha has taken steps to develop basic facilities, increase groundwater, and save lakes, and is working to save the water given by nature.
