The move is aimed at easing pressure on the Cauvery river; people along the banks of Kollidam have been asked to move to safer places
The Public Works Department (PWD) has decided to divert about 10,000 cusecs of water into the Kollidam river from the Upper Anicut (Mukkombu) from Monday evening.
The move comes in view of the heavy inflows into Koraiyar and Kudamuritti rivers, which drain into the Cauvery river near Tiruchi.

“Judicial time is a valuable public resource. Every frivolous or misconceived invocation of constitutional jurisdiction results in diversion of time from genuinely deserving litigants,” said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while imposing a cost of ₹50,000 on a man from Theni district who filed a petition with an unusual prayer: permission to conduct daily protests till the ‘World War’ ends.
