Mysore/Mysuru: Newly elected Krishnaraja (KR) MLA T.S. Srivatsa on Monday visited Kabini Drinking Water Project site near Bidaragodu in Nanjangud taluk and inspected  the progress of works.

Later speaking to press persons, Srivatsa said that the Project is aimed at supplying 120 MLD of water from Kabini river to several areas of the city. Though the works concerning Pumping Station and pipeline are almost complete, many other civil works need to be executed, he pointed out. Noting that the Kabini Drinking Water Project was taken up as the water supplied from KRS (Belagola) and Melapura Pumping Stations were not enough for the city, he said that the Kabini Water Project will supply water to many residential localities that have come up in the southern parts of the city. The project will also serve the drinking water needs of several villages located along the water pipeline, he added.

Srivatsa was accompanied by Mayor Shivakumar, Deputy Mayor Dr. G. Roopa, MCC Commissioner G. Lakshmikantha Reddy, SE S. Mahesh, VVWW EE Suvarna and other officials.
