Rainwater on highways to be used for power generation across Karnataka: CM Bommai
A project to make electricity using rainwater flowing along national highways will be implemented along the stretch from Karnataka’s Kittur to Belagavi, which reaches up to the Maharashtra border, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said on Monday.
The project, under the Jal Shakti Abhiyan, aims to channel rainwater and build small waterbodies to generate power.
After Union minister Nitin Gadkari laid the foundation for five national highways, Bommai said the Centre’s Jal Shakti project would be implemented along all the highways in the state, and urged Gadkari to complete the construction of Ring Road in Belagavi and other cities.
