Hogenakkal has one shore in Karnataka's side whereas the other shore is in Tamilnadu(officially Dharmapuri district). The infrastructure relating to this project will be built on the TN's side of Hogenakkal. It is where Cauvery enters Tamilnadu. This project will never come in the way of Karnataka. Morover, this project was approved by both Karnataka and Central Government in 1998. TN agreed to Bangalore Water supply project and KN agreed to Hoge drinking water project mutually provided both states use from their allocated share. Hoge project was stopped due to various sanctions imposed on India due to Pokhran nuclear tests. I wonder why KN is opposing now.
Kindly analyse the geography of this area of dispute. It will be practically impossible or too expensive to take the water from Mettur dam than Hogenakkal as Mettur is surrounded in the north by Shervaroyan Hills, a meeting point of eastern and a part of western ghats. It is practically too difficult to lay huge pipes thro' these mountains to reach Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri districts. Morover, the Mettur dam is in lower aprarian region that Hogennakal, Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri and everyone knows that water flows from higher level to lower level. Can you people deny this?. The right for which TN is fighting is valid. Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri districts are highly water starved districts and Hogenakkal can be the only place where water can be pumped in large quantities due to its enormous depth (that too from the alloca

I request all kannidiga friends to take a humanistic approach to this issue than as a border dispute. After all,the people of these districts are as human as those in Bangalore and other parts of Karnataka.

There is no dispute officially regarding Hogenakkal issue but it only regarding the share of cauvery water. This dispute was started by Hooligans like Vatal Nagaraj only after the death of Veerappan. Until then, this issue was not all raised by KN. There is no official dispute on claims over Hoge in records

Ofcourse Hooligans are there every where in INDIAN politics and tamilnadu politicans are also one among them. There are very few who really ready to sacrifice their life or do something good for country development. Look at the basics, There is no need for this agitation at all from K'naka side which they agreed long time ago. Let them go & analyse about the project & if they find any future issues raise their voice thru proper channels.
Let think in other way at the time of flood in karnataka why these groups are not agitating when the government sent out the water.Let them close all the doors & keep it with them & I believe after that there will be nobody here to talk about anything.
Do you know how much loss the country is going to incur when they call for bandh and creating these kind of issues?
At the time of freedom we used Ahimsa weapon and why are we not following that. I used to think if we would have got freedom thru Great subash chandra bose movement, may be we would had a disciplined politicians & might be well disciplined INDIA.
Let us stop fighting between us & work for the country overall development.

Dear santhosh, How do you call a person who damages buses, attack establishments, hurt a section of people time and again on any political or linguistic issue without trying to solve legally?. Hooligan or Mahatma?.

Yes Rajana, Not a person supporting Karnataka's cause post scientific or genuine facts for their claim in reply to my post. It just shows they are abusing Tamils without even understanding the real issue & ground reality. They just want to flare things up by abusing with bad language. It is sad to note even educated are behaving this way.
