Several industrial units in the district have made a ‘private arrangement’ with farmers by providing them compensation for the crop loss due to the effluents released into their fields.
However, the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) contends that there is no provision in the law for such compensation. According to documents accessed by Deccan Herald, eight industries in the district are distributing a compensation of Rs 1,20,57,194 to 906 farmers.
