The State government has planned to build two new barrages across the Cauvery river near Mardhur in Karur district and between Nerur in Karur district and Mohanur in Namakkal district. As per the policy note of the Water Resources Department, presented by Minister Duraimurugan on Monday, a barrage is planned to be built across the Cauvery between Marudhur North village in Kulithalai taluk in Karur district and Umaiyalpuram village in Musiri taluk in Tiruchi district.
On November 30, a team of officials from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), Water Resources Department (WRD) and Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) conducted a joint inspection of a rainwater vent below the Chennai Bypass Road in Thiruneermalai. This marks the second time NHAI and WRD have carried out an inspection following a request being made by residents. They want NHAI to widen the vent located below the Bypass Road to facilitate rainwater drainage from ‘Nattukalvai’. The office bearers of the Federation of Welfare Associations accompanied the officials.
