The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

Residents of Uttara Kannada district in Karnataka are protesting against the proposed Bedthi-Aghanashini river diversion and linking project.
Farmers, cultivators and fisherfolk of the coastal and Malenadu regions have opposed the project for over a year, with agitations led under the presidency of Sonada Swarnavalli Seer Gangadharendra Saraswati Swamiji.
Protesters warn the project could damage Western Ghats biodiversity and the Aghanashini estuary, threaten aquatic species vital to fishing, and cause drinking water shortages in the district.
Opponents have sent one lakh letters to the government, passed resolutions at gram panchayat level, and warned of fierce protests in Bengaluru and Delhi if the detailed project report proceeds.
The government now faces mounting pressure to decide whether to drop the project, as residents of Shirsi, Yellapur, Ankola, Kumta and Karwar stand united against it.
