An appeal to save Kali River for posterity
Honourable Chief Minister,
We appeal to you to address the concerns raised by the Kali Bachao Andolan (KBA) formed by several local community organizations and tribal villages to highlight severe threats to the Kali River and protect it for posterity. We appeal that you should take the initiative in ensuring that the Kali is saved for posterity. Please ensure that:
- No more dams will be allowed on the Kali.
- The serious pollution of the Kali from the Dandeli Paper Mills and other sources is ended immediately.
- Illegal sand mining on the Banks of Kali and its tributaries is stopped.
We support the aspirations of the people of Uttara Kannada who want the Kali flowing and alive with life. Not dammed, polluted and dead.
Sincerely,
