Mumbai, Sep 24: The second annual general body meeting of Jayashreekrishna Parisara Premi Samiti was held at Peninsula Grand Hotel located at the suburban Sakinaka on Saturday September 22.  The meeting was chaired by Samiti president Vishwanath U Mada.  Samiti founder Thonse Jayakrishna A Shetty inaugurated the meeting by lighting the lamp.

“The relentless efforts of Samiti in the past seven years have paid off.  Samiti has been successful in curbing the environmentalists’ opposition on hindering the development of Dakshina Kannada, which has enhanced self respect.  As a result, Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts have been opened up for industrialization.  Accordingly investments worth around Rs 2 lac crore would be invested in various projects across the districts.  Hence this has indeed fulfilled Samiti’s chief objectives.  Moreover, Samiti has been striving to provide employment opportunities to the youth from our district”, said Shetty.

Samiti’s website, www.jppsamiti.org was launched on the same occasion.

Samiti vice-president Sanjeev Kanchan, Dharmapal U Devadiga, Felix A D’Souza, Sadanand D Nayak, honorary chief secretary Nithyanand D Kotian, honorary treasurer I R Shetty and other office- bearers were present on the dais.

Honorary secretary Rons Bantwal, P Dhananjay Shetty, G T Acharya, honorary secretaries Harish Kumar M Shetty, Thonse Sanjeev Poojary, Harry Sequeira Ferrar, ex-president B Subhash Shetty, founder member Dr Sanjeev Shetty, Ullurguttu Vaman Shetty and other members were present.

    I want to highlight the open secret that evenyone in our beloved DK district talks, The 'SPONSOR' of this 'SAMITHI' is into 'ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING' business. The Coal Based power plant coming up in Nandikoor is giving his company contracts revenue worth 'MANY CRORES'. Now I urge the respected readers to join the dots and now decide why thie SAMITHI has been pushing this project from start and not any environmental friendly IT projects or even MRPL project.

    I think this Samiti has 2 tongue attitude, they protested the project initialy, after sometime they will change the way they have thought. why this happens..? People should understand this. Everybody is doing everything for something. Now where is so called environmental protection..? When they got thier needs fulfilled by the company, now they are supporting. Now they enjoy with employment oppotunity for their near and dear ones. Very nice the DK, you are great...!!!

    Mr.Shetty,Coal based power plant will not cause any harm to members of this Association,as they do not live close to the plant. They will reap the fruits of profit from far and eat in Grand Hotel,while local people will eat Ganji and die with lung illness. They will walk on Marine Drive under clear skies breathing fresh air.Locals will walk in smog created by effluents out of plant stack and fly dust, breathing foul smell with high humidity.

    How many of members hold Stock Options in Power plant. I just wonder,who paid the Hotel Bill,and for publicity. They boast of lot of industry in coastal area but no road to travel. They are only looking at one side of coin.

    District is desecrated by the so called environmentalists. Thank you for putting a stop to this menace. The citizens are with you please go ahead and put you best efforts forward and make our District a developed and liveable district. Today it is only a money order economy living off income earned from some where else. Shame on all of us for supporting environmentalists and vested interest funded by international crooks to keep our district undeveloped.

    Supporting coal based thermal powerplant, which is highly causing environmental pollution,by a samithi"parisara premi"is like damaging their own cause.
