Mangalore, January 7: Protesting against the removal of two experts from the panel appointed to study the impact of the Udupi Thermal Power Plant on the environment, Pejawar mutt seer Vishwesha Teertha has decided to go on three-day fast at a temple in Padubidri from Monday.
The state government removed YB Ramakrishna and TB Ramachandra from the committee recently.
The seer described the government's move as an insult to him, the experts and the villagers.
The CM had earlier said the orders for removal of experts were passed at the behest of Udupi district minister VS Acharya. "As the minister's explanation on this matter was not satisfactory, I will go on hunger strike against this decision,'' he said.
