Delta farmers, who reaped a rich harvest of
kuruvai crop last year, expect the State government to announce or at least indicate the possible date of opening of the shutters of Stanley Reservoir for release of water for irrigation in view of sufficient storage.
Last year, they took up cultivation of
kuruvai crop with confidence after a gap of nearly nine years since the then State government made an official announcement during the third week of May that the shutters of Mettur Dam would be lifted on the scheduled date of June 12.
