THANJAVUR Farmers in delta districts are a worried a lot as many say they see indications for delay in opening of shutters of Stanley Reservoir well beyond the scheduled date of June 12.
The farmers, at the outset, were hopeful that their views would be factored in by the government for deciding on the water release schedule for Kuruvai and Samba cultivation while attending a recent meeting attended by senior State Ministers.
However, the farmers were a little disappointed when they were told at the meeting that the decision on the date of the opening of Mettur dam would be finalised and announced by the Chief Minister M.K.Stalin on a later date.
