Udupi, 31 Aug 2013 : The state administration has forgotten about areca planters soon after the assembly elections. It should have instructed the department officials to study the grievances of areca planters and announced the special package. It’s a serious issue concerning the livelihood of areca planters. The government is expected to intervene in order to avoid suicide cases similar to Vidharba in Maharashtra, said the former CM D V Sadanand Gowda.
Gowda was speaking after viewing the crop loss in the areca plantation of Nyarma Kusha Shetty, Shirva, near here on Friday August 30.
Addressing the gathering, the DyCM Eshwarappa said that no politics on the lives of areca planters who are already in distress owing to the disease plaguing their crop.
The district BJP vice president Sulochana Bhat, former ministers Kota Srinivas Poojary and Nagaraj Shetty, Kaup former MLA Lalaji R Mendon, Udupi BJP district president Uday Kumar Shetty, Kaup BJP president Suresh Kuyilady, former presidents Navin Shetty Kutyar, Ravindra Shetty Kollabettu, Mattar Ratnakar Hegde, Giridar Prabhu and others were present on the occasion.

As per my Knowledge this is completely Wrong.I know very well Nyarma Kusha shetty areca plantation is No disease, He did not provide enough water for plantation from 4 to 5 years. because he is very busy with chicken farm, better than plantation he have good income in chicken Farm he already make good money also.He don t have time to spend for this plantation. I want to suggest that, Kusha Shetty and his followers before they act need to think first. They could not find a better place than the one they visited for a picnic. |
