Print Udupi: Vishwesha Tirtha Swamiji of Pejawar Math began his indefinite fast, during which he will have one meal a day, against the pollution caused by the coal-based thermal power plant of the Udupi Power Corporation Ltd (UPCL) in Bangalore on Saturday.
In a release here, the swamiji said his fast was against the thermal plant and not against the State Government. Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyuprappa had sent a message to him through Higher Education Minister V.S. Acharya that it was not possible to temporarily close down the thermal plant because of power shortage in the State.
However, the State Government and the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board were keeping a tight vigil on the UPCL to see that it adhered to all pollution control norms. Mr. Yeddyurappa had (in his message) urged him to give up his fast.
The swamiji said that he was moved by the pain and sufferings of the people in the villages surrounding the thermal plant. His fast was aimed at persuading the UPCL to give priority to pollution control measures and to sympathise with the people of the region. The UPCL should understand that a seer was undertaking the fast for the sake of the people. The UPCL should install state-of-the-art technology to control pollution from its thermal plant. Otherwise, it should wind up its operations and move out of Udupi district.
“During my fast, I will have only one meal in 24 hours. During the rest of the time, I will not even consume water. I have no doubt that my fast will be successful because of the cooperation of the people and the blessings of God,” the seer said.
