Regular water flow will be ensured to the Vani Vilas Sagar water grid henceforth, promised Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai after offering bagina to the waterbody at Hiriyur in Chitradurga district on Tuesday. He said Vani Vilas Sagar had filled to the brim after 88 years.
A scheme had been evolved to link this to the Upper Bhadra project and provide drip irrigation facilities to the fields situated in low-lying areas, he said. The impounded water could be used for irrigation purposes in Chitradurga, Tumakuru, and Davangere areas, the Chief Minister said.
