The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Vitlapura village in Mundaragi taluk, which is meant to be submerged under the backwaters of the Shingatatur irrigation project on the Tungabhadra river, has still not been relocated.
- Residents face annual flooding during the monsoon, damp homes, temporary shelter in care centres, and the village lacks proper roads and drainage.
- Because the villages remain unrelocated, the barrage can store only 1.9 TMC feet of its 3 TMC feet capacity, with water flowing waste to the river and leaving farmers of hundreds of district villages without water.
- Around 40 acres of land have been bought for relocation, and officials say the shift will begin only after compensation is distributed.
What to watch next
- Distribution of compensation for the 40 acres acquired for relocation
- Actual start of the relocation of Vitlapura residents
- Whether Gumagol village residents move to their new village, allowing the barrage to store full capacity
