Members of the Perundurai SIPCOT Affected People Welfare Association have urged the State government to include 25 water bodies in villages located around the Sipcot under the Avinashi – Athikadavu Groundwater Recharge project. In an email sent to the Chief Minister, association coordinator S. Chinnasamy said that a total of 1,045 water bodies in the districts of Coimbatore, Erode and Tiruppur have been included under the project. But water bodies in the panchayats of Perundurai, Ingur, Vadamugam Vellode, Vaipadi, Kambiliyampatti, Panayampalli, Ottaparai and Mugasi Pidariyur were left out. The email claimed that the discharge of untreated effluents from the dyeing and tannery units functioning at the Sipcot Industrial Estate had polluted the water bodies around the premises.More Related News
