Karnataka MLA says Kasturirangan report resolution needs action on village survey
Congress MLA and former Minister H.K. Patil says successive Karnataka governments wasted time by failing to conduct a physical survey of villages affected by the Kasturirangan report since 2013. Karkala MLA Sunil Kumar says a resolution alone will not resolve the issue.
A resolution on the Kasturirangan report will not by itself resolve the issue, Karkala MLA Sunil Kumar has said, according to the supplied material. Congress MLA and former Minister H.K. Patil said successive governments had wasted time by failing to conduct a physical survey of affected villages since 2013.
The comments point to a dispute over how villages affected by the report should be identified and handled. The supplied material does not specify the number of villages involved, the areas covered or the provisions of the report at issue. It also does not state what resolution has been proposed, which governments failed to conduct the survey or what action Kumar and Patil are seeking now.
The physical survey is presented as a central unresolved step. Patil’s criticism is that it has not been carried out since 2013, while Kumar’s position, as summarised in the source, is that adopting a resolution alone would be insufficient. No response from the state government or details of a planned survey were included in the available material.
