Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker M. Appavu on Saturday released water from Vadakku Pachchaiyar dam near Kalakkad in Tirunelveli district for ‘pisanam’ paddy cultivation.
Mr. Appavu said 100 cusecs of water would be released from the dam till March 31 to benefit 9,592.91 acres of land in Pathai, Manjuvilai, Kalakkad, Padmaneri, Vadamalaisamudhram, Soorangudi, Kadamboduvazhvu, Nanguneri, Karanthaneri, Marukalkurichi, Pattarpuram, Iraippuvari and Parappadi, covered by Madathukkal, Nangunerian Channel and the five check-dams built across Pachchaiyar.
“Since the dam is small, farmers should judiciously use the water being released,” Mr. Appavu said. He also said the farmers, who were yet to receive the interest-free crop loan should apply for it.
