PoliticsFarmers Demand Sub-Surface Dam on Hagari River in Ballari
Farmers in drought-prone Ballari district, led by Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha and Hasiru Sene, are campaigning for a sub-surface dam across the Hagari (Vedavathi) river. The rain-fed river flows about 90 km through Ballari and parts of Andhra Pradesh. The dam aims to retain subsurface water, recharge borewells, reduce groundwater salinity, and improve drinking water availability. Awareness meetings are ongoing at local levels.
