Thermal power station
Government of Karnataka is trying to build a thermal power station in this rich soil area. This area is very near to Nagarahole National Park and Kabini river. Environmentalists are arguing that this project will surely pollute the surrounding flora and fauna. The people of Chamalapura are not ready to give up their lands. Citizens of mysore are also against this project. But the Government of Karnataka is backing this project by stating that it will generate electricity and make up for the shortage faced by Karnataka state. But the people against this project argue that transmission loss and robbery of electricity amounts to 40%. If this loss is controlled effectively, then there is no need for thermal power station.
The Government has argued that the land is barren and not fit for cultivation. Hence a project in this place is favourable. But going by the photos published in the newspapers[1], it can be well concluded that the land is very much fertile.
