“Hogenakkal project will be implemented at any cost”

The State government will implement the Hogenakkal drinking water supply scheme at any cost and it will not be cowed down by threats of some leaders, Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi said here on Sunday.

Inaugurating a flyover linking North Usman Road and Mahalingapuram here, the Chief Minister said the scheme had been cleared by the Centre.

The Karnataka government had also given its clearance.

At this stage, some politicians in Karnataka were trying to “sabotage” the scheme just to gain political mileage. Their attempts would not succeed, he added.

Appealing to the Centre to intervene in the issue, Mr. Karunanidhi said the move by some Karnataka leaders was against the unity, integrity and sovereignty of the country. “Let them not act in a manner that would be prejudicial to the unity of the country,” he added.
