Deccan Herald is reporting that Owner of the estate, Ms. Nervanda Indira’s appeal to lay grills to the foot road that passes through her estate to Abbi Waterfalls, is being ignored by the Gram panchayat, while many tourists continue to litter and damage her estate.
The Water falls is situated in the private land belonging to Ms.Indira. In protest against the apathy shown by the GP, she had even locked the main gate.
She said:
Those who visit the waterfalls pluck coffee plants, throw plastic carry bags, cigarettes, beedi, gutka packets and liquor bottles.
The gram panchayat had promised to lay grills to the foot road that passes through estate. However, the promises have remained only on paper. The tourists damage the plants.
In protest against apathy of the gram panchayat, I had even locked the main gate. To ensure that no inconvenience is met to the tourists, I started opening the small gate to allow the tourists to enjoy the beauty of nature.
