They hail decision to release water from Mettur dam on June 12
Representatives of the Cauvery delta farmers have welcomed Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s decision to release water for irrigation from the Mettur dam on the scheduled date of June 12. But they have called for efficient water management to see them through the paddy cultivation seasons this year.
The farmers, who are getting ready for the ‘kuruvai’ cultivation, have urged that desilting in the delta districts be completed before the water flows through the Grand Anicut into the Cauvery, the Vennar and the Grand Anicut Canal.
