A file photo of the Krishnaraja Sagar in Mandya district.
The water level in the Krishnaraja Sagar (KRS) across the Cauvery breached the 100-ft mark on Tuesday morning and attained 102.35 ft by night owing to heavy rain in the catchment area of the river for the last few days. Meanwhile, water level in the Kabini reservoir in H.D. Kote taluk of Mysuru district is nearing the full reservoir level.
The southwest monsoon, which was weak in Kodagu during June and a greater part of July, gained traction during the last few days consequent to which heavy to very heavy rain lashed the district, bridging the deficient significantly.
This also helped increase the volume of the inflow and enabled the KRS to cross the 100-ft mark, which seemed unlikely till a few days ago. The reservoir level was 91.24 ft on Saturday.
While the reservoir level has crossed the 100-ft mark as against the full reservoir level of 124.8 ft, the live storage in the dam increased from 16.69 tmcft on Saturday to 22.81 tmcft on Tuesday, an increase in the storage by 6.12 tmcft in less than three days. But it is pertinent to note that this is only 46% of the dam’s gross capacity of 49.45 tmcft.
Inflow and outflow
The inflow was at the rate of 48,025 cusecs on Tuesday morning and increased to 49,280 cusecs at night, according to the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC) and the outflow was at 5,449 cusecs. The current trend of increased inflow into the KRS may last so long as Kodagu receives copious rain coupled with an increase in the discharge from the Harangi where the outflow was hovering around the rate of 30,000 cusecs on Monday, dropped to 20,000 cusecs on Tuesday afternoon and further declined to 13,000 cusecs by evening.
The forecast
The ICAR-Krishi Vigyan Kendra at Gonikoappal, which is the District Agro Meteorological Unit of Kodagu, has forecast rainfall from 41.6 mm in Somwarpet to 60.9 mm in Madikeri and 59.9 mm in Virajpet, on Wednesday. But from Thursday onwards, the forecast indicates that the rain will abate and the three taluks are expected to receive between 8.7 mm and 14.7 mm rainfall on Thursday and 1.5 mm and 3.1 mm on Friday with a further decline by Saturday. Consequently, the rate of inflow into the Harangi and the KRS in the downstream will also abate.
Kabini nearing FRL
The Kabini reservoir at Beechanahalli in H.D. Kote taluk of Mysuru district is inching closer to attaining the full reservoir level of 2,284 feet.
This is due to heavy inflow consequent to rain in the catchment area of the river in Wayanad, Kerala, in the upstream region. The rate of inflow was 25,485 cusecs and the water level was 2,281.27 ft on Tuesday. The authorities have announced that the outflow from the dam was stepped up from the rate of 15,000 cusecs to 20,000 cusecs and said the Bidarahalli bridge could be partially submerged.
Kabini is the first reservoir that tends to get filled up as early as late June or in the first week of July during monsoon but this year scanty rain resulted in poor inflow into the reservoir. The gross storage capacity of the reservoir is 19.52 tmcft against which the live storage on Tuesday was 17.79 tmc ft.

Madikeri/Mysuru:
After attending the Opposition unity meeting at Taj West End, Bengaluru, on July 18, former Uttar Pradesh (UP) Chief Minister (CM) and Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav headed to Kodagu to stay at Taj Madikeri Resort & Spa, Coorg in Monnangeri village, near Galibeedu.
Interacting with a few resort staff and the guests for a few moments, Akhilesh said that he had come to Kodagu a couple of times when he was a student at Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering (SJCE) (now JSS Science and Technology University) and had visited Madikeri to witness the night-long Dasara procession.
Before heading to Kodagu, Akhilesh had a stopover in Mandya where he rested at a private hotel and he met his old friends and classmates.
After his night’s stay in Kodagu, the Samajwadi Party leader took time yesterday morning to visit General Thimayya Museum at Madikeri which celebrates the life of former Army Chief General Kodandera Subayya Thimayya, housing a variety of antique weaponry and war relics.
Welcoming the former UP CM, Museum Manager Subedar Major Gowdanda Thimmaiah, took him around the Museum and explained to him how ‘Sunny Side,’ the erstwhile ancestral house of General Thimayya, who served as the Chief of Army Staff from 1957 to 1961, has been renovated and converted into the Museum.
Accompanied by party National Spokesperson Rajendra Chowdhuri, Akhilesh Yadav went to every section of the Museum and was curious to know the tradition of warriors and how the Kodagu district became a nurturing place for Field Marshal K.M. Cariappa, General Thimayya and other numerous Lieutenant Generals, Brigadiers, Majors and the other Defence Services officers.
The Kodagu Police had provided tight security to the visiting VIP and media persons were not allowed inside the Museum during his visit. Only one camera person was allowed to click photos. Here too, Akhilesh spoke about his warm association with Madikeri and Mysuru.
“I studied in a Military School and read about General Thimayya. I recently came to know about this historic and well-maintained Museum and I had made up my mind to visit Madikeri. I bow to the celebrated General and the soil of Kodagu,” he said.
Picture shows Suttur Seer Sri Shivarathri Deshikendra Swamiji blessing the Samajwadi Party leader during his visit to Suttur Mutt at the foot of Chamundi Hill in city.
Akhilesh returned to Mysuru where he caught up with a few of his friends and classmates. At SJCE, between 1990 and 1994, Akhilesh studied Civil Engineering before proceeding to Australia for MS in Environmental Engineering.
His classmate Dashrath Rai and others accompanied Akhilesh to Suttur Mutt where the former UP CM took the blessings of Sri Shivarathri Deshikendra Swamiji. The Swamiji felicitated Akhilesh and presented a memento.

Of the three, Kaverappa and Koushik are not widely known. Vyshak, who plays for Royal Challengers Bangalore, is a more familiar name. The head-turner was Kaverappa, who snared eight wickets in the game and was adjudged man of the series for 15 wickets in two games.

There was a ’90s vibe about South Zone’s 75-run victory over West Zone in Sunday’s Duleep Trophy final in Bengaluru. The bowling backbone, as it was for the country for most of the 1990s and early 2000s, largely comprised those from Karnataka.
Like Javagal Srinath and Venkatesh Prasad, Anil Kumble and Sunil Joshi, the pace trio of Vidwath Kaverappa, Vasuki Koushik and Vijaykumar Vyshak scythed through a star-studded batting line-up of Cheteshwar Pujara, Prithvi Shaw, Suryakumar Yadav, Sarfaraz Khan and Priyank Panchal. They picked up 16 of the 20 South Zone scalps, a performance that held the promise of another wave of bowlers from the Southern powerhouse.
Between them, the three bowlers have featured in only 33 first-class games. Pujara alone has 103 Tests to his name. Shaw and Yadav, too, are Test cricketers while Panchal and Khan, both domestic stalwarts, have been knocking on the doors for a long time. But the gulf in experience hardly mattered.
Of the three, Kaverappa and Koushik are not widely known. Vyshak, who plays for Royal Challengers Bangalore , is a more familiar name. The head-turner was Kaverappa, who snared eight wickets in the game and was adjudged man of the series for 15 wickets in two games. Like most youngsters from Madikeri in Coorg, one of India’s hockey hubs, he used to play hockey until he fell in love with fast bowling. A product of Karnataka State Cricket Association’s talent hunt programme, the 24-year-old can move the ball both ways, thanks to his wrists. In just eight Ranji games, he grabbed 30 wickets. Hailing from a humble background, he attended the trials in Mangalore when he was 16 and impressed coaches and selectors right away. Noted coach Samuel Jayaraj, the man credited with mentoring K L Rahul, asked him to stay back. Kaverappa had second thoughts but Jayaraj eventually convinced him.
Possessing a smooth action and accuracy, he was more than a handful in the first innings, where he nabbed seven wickets including those of Pujara, Yadav and Khan. He swings the new ball and gets reverse swing when the ball gets old and ragged. “He is a natural athlete, and if he could add a few yards of pace, with the seam movement he has, he can go a long way,” Srinath Aravind, who worked with the trio as bowling coach of Karnataka last season, told The Indian Express.
His partner-in-crime is Vyshak, a selfless workhorse who ties up one end so others can reap the rewards of his labour. He conceded just 72 runs in 32 overs for three wickets in the game, suffocating the batters into mistakes and using the old ball to good effect with his leg-stump line.
Not that he is any less skilful. Vyshak could be as good as Kaverappa with his movement, but he has the heart and muscle to bowl long spells even if the pitch provides little assistance.
In his teens, he wanted to be a wicketkeeper but could not because he was overweight. He was a batsman in age-group cricket before becoming a spinner and then eventually a fast bowler. Pursuing his father’s dream to play cricket, Vyshak led Karnataka’s wicket charts in Ranji with 31 scalps in 8 matches last season, the state unearthing a mainstay after the heyday of Aravind, R Vinay Kumar and Abhimanyu Mithun. He was lethal with short balls too, twice on Day Four, he struck Khan, one on his helmet and the other on his left shoulder.
Koushik’s journey to the state has been different too. A mechanical engineer who worked with Amazon as a content executive, he took the sport seriously only when he was 17.
At 30, he found the break he had long yearned for. “I lost my prime years between 22-26, because there was no place (with Vinay, Mithun & Aravind around). Even though I did well in club cricket, I could not even get a chance in Thimmaiah Cup squads from where Karnataka players are picked. But last season, I finally got an opening and from there on, it has been an enjoyable ride,” said Koushik, who possesses immaculate control with the old ball. He pocketed four wickets in the second innings, including those of Pujara and Yadav in the same over.
It’s the perfect combination, said Aravind. “All three are gifted in their own way and that is what makes them a perfect combination. When we gave them the opportunity last season, they showed hunger and that drive.”
Captain Hamuna Vihari, too, praised them effusively. “Quality bowlers will make the captain’s job really easy and these three did that for me,” he said. Like in the ’90s, Karnataka’s bowling is rocking again.

Coffee Board recently held another round of industry consultation and the existing draft may be final.
A final draft of India’s new coffee legislation, Coffee (Promotion and Development) Bill, 2022, an effort to to refresh the archaic Coffee Act (1942), that is seen as overly regulating the commodity in the last over 80 years, is expected to be tabled in the Parliament in the ongoing monsoon session.
The Coffee Board recently held another round of industry consultation and the existing draft may be final and expected to be tabled in the Parliament soon, if other changes are not recommended by any ministries concerned.
K.G. Jagadeesha, Coffee Board, CEO and Secretary, told The Hindu: “The intention of the government is to place the draft for consideration during the monsoon session, depending on clearances from various ministries.” Mr. Jagadeesha said the existing Act has been adversely impacting the marketing and consumption of the commodity.
Organisations supportive
“Looks like various coffee organisations and industry stakeholders are supportive of the draft that is ready. They are happy that an amendment has been made to the old regulation with archaic provisions. So it may be the final draft unless concerned ministries want to make further changes,” he added.
The board met a large contingent of industry stakeholders comprising the United Planters’ Association of Southern India (UPASI), Karnataka Planters’ Association (KPA), Karnataka Growers’ Foundation, Coffee Exporters Association, members of the Coffee Board, labour union representatives, roasters, curers, and exporters recently.
Mahesh Shashidhar, chairman, KPA, said the industry was expecting the new coffee legislation would do away with several unwanted licenses, permissions, and need for repeated registrations that growers, curers, roaster, and exporters had to furnish so far. “We expect it to be more simplified and industry-friendly,” he added.
Many changes since 1942
According to Ramesh Rajah, president, Coffee Exporters Association, the coffee industry and the market dynamics of the global commodity has drastically changed several times since 1942. “What we now require is a legislation that supports a holistic growth of the sector and not something that ties us up,” added Mr. Rajah.
The new legislation is also expected to promote economic, scientific and technical research in coffee, including breeding new varieties and focusing on sustainable coffee production.
The Coffee Board itself may go through a transition once the new coffee Act is in place as it was constituted in 1942, as per the draft.
