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.

Dear Prashanth, 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 for your information buddy.

Hindi is a creole language that originated some 600 years after various sanskrit dialects mingled with Turkish/Persian of the ruling muslim kings.
Tamil (and Kannada) are ancient languages. If Hindi is to be made the National language because 38% of the Indians speak it...them let us make street dog as our 'national animal' instead of Tiger....and crow as national bird....instead of peocock.

same Tamil nadu stopped the cleaning of Ponds and lakes in three districts of Karnataka which were near to Cauvey(not belonged to River) fearing that Karnataka may store river water there and create shortage.you know each and every village has pond or Lake and if it is not cleaned what will happen to villagers. Finally it was Karunanidhi who called Kannada people as Lingustic in public meeting and te whole world knows who are linguistic people.

I request all my kannadiga friends to approach this issue more in HUMANIZED manner than declaring as a border issue. After all, those living in these two districts are as human as those living in Bangalore or other parts of Karnataka.

Oh! you mean only those who accept Hindi as a national language are good people. Then try to declare as the global language to make everyone good. Funny. Good God. Its useless to let you understand in more genuine way by giving you facts scientifically. Its the height of hipocracy.
