2 truckloads of liquor bottles, waste retrieved from KRS backwaters
1 2 3 Mysuru: Two truckloads of liquor bottles and plastic waste discarded at KRS backwaters were retrieved from the river during a special drive by Karnataka Rajya Raita Sangha (KRRS), Mysuru taluk, in association with organisations, including Rotary Club. Authorities are now contemplating imposing a fine of Rs 1,000 on those visitors polluting the area. A massive cleanliness drive was conducted at KRS backwaters on Saturday by KRRS. Over 150 volunteers participated in the five-hour long cleanliness campaign, during which large quantities of liquor bottles, plastic bottles, and plastic waste discarded by visitors were collected. In total, more than two truckloads of garbage were cleared from the site. KRRS Mysuru taluk president Ananduru Prabhakar said, "During the drive, we found the area littered predominantly with liquor bottles and plastic waste. Liquor is now strictly prohibited at KRS backwaters, and police will take stringent action, including a Rs 1,000 fine, against violators." He added that discussions are under way with the Cauvery Neeravari Nigam Limited (CNNL) regarding further beautification of the area. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy the Dip: Top 5 Dividend Stocks with Growth Potential Seeking Alpha Read More Undo "We have requested CNNL to hand over the management of the backwaters to us so that the Ananduru gram panchayat can implement measures like introducing an entry ticket system and ensuring a plastic-free environment," Prabhakar said. Highlighting concerns, Prabhakar said that in the past six months, the location saw an increase in young visitors bringing alcohol, leading to frequent altercations. He urged the police department to post security personnel to monitor the area. Farmer leader Marankaiah, who also took part in the drive, emphasised that efforts are ongoing to transform the backwaters into a cleaner and more attractive destination. The KRRS team reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining the area and preventing further littering, aiming to develop the KRS backwaters into a clean and family-friendly spot for visitors.
