Many dams in Kanniyakumari district have achieved full capacity
As heavy rain necessitated release of excess water from dams in Kanniyakumari, Collector M. Arvind and Information Technology Minister Mano Thangaraj visited the dams and areas on the banks of canals.
The Thamirabharani river in the district is in spate after the dam water and rain entered it. The Minister and officials inspected Mangadu bridge, Vaikalur, Parakkani check dam and Pechiparai dam.
“The district administration is fully geared up to face the situation and dams are continuously monitored. The revenue department is surveying the encroachments and will remove them,” said Mr Mano Thangaraj.
