more-inGreen activists in Dakshina Kannada district, who have been spearheading a campaign against the Yettinahole project for over five years, are seriously thinking of fielding candidates in the Assembly elections in the district. For now, they have decided to put up display boards in front of apartments and houses in the district targeting political parties, telling them not to come to seek votes. “Even some among the common people may not agree out of fear of the political parties. The activists’ intention is to field candidates from Bantwal, Mangaluru, Mangaluru City South, Mangaluru City North, and Puttur. Mr. Holla said activists did rake up the Netravathi issue in the last elections and had appealed to the voters to go for NOTA.
