Karnataka Admits Forest Violations in Yettinahole Project

The Karnataka government has admitted that they used forest land without proper permission for a big water project called the Yettinahole project.

This project is supposed to bring drinking water to areas that often don't have enough water.

However, environmentalists are worried because the project is in a very important and sensitive forest area called the Western Ghats.

The government says they made a mistake and will work with the central government to fix it.

But some people think the government might not be telling the whole story about how much forest land they actually used.
