Madikeri: Boulders rolled down from the Mookri Gudda-Doddamanekoppa hill in Doddamane Koppa village in Somwarpet taluk, damaging coffee plantations and causing panic among the villagers.The soil loosened due to the rain this year, and dozens of boulders rolled down into the coffee plantations. Villagers from Doddamane Koppa, under the jurisdiction of Tholurushettalli gram panchayat, approached the revenue department seeking assistance.Quarrying was done in Mookri Gudda about 15 years ago, but later stone mining was stopped due to opposition by environmentalists. The villagers alleged that there is a fear of working in the estates now.Based on the information provided by the villagers, revenue inspector Damodar and village accountant Karibasappa visited the spot. There are no houses in the area where the stones fell, so there is no problem at present. The stones fell 200 meters below the hill. Revenue officer Damodar opined that the villagers do not need to worry.A report was submitted to the tahsildar and a geologist about the boulders falling into the estates, and the higher officials will inspect the spot.
