THOOTHUKUDI
Seeking compensation for the rain-fed crops destroyed by the recent downpour in the northern parts of the district, over 500 affected farmers came to the Collectorate with the rotten crops to submit petition during the weekly grievances redressal meet held on Monday. Collector K. Senthil Raj assured the aggrieved agriculturists that a due survey was being taken to give adequate compensation to the affected farmers. After the northern parts of the district were hit hard by the rain induced by Cyclone Burevi, the recent unseasonal rains triggered rot in the standing crops that include green gram, black gram, corn, maize, pearl millet, chilli, onion and cotton cultivated on over 1.50 lakh acres in Kovilpatti, Kayathar, Ottapidaaram, Ettaiyapuram, Pudur and Vilaathikulam taluks.

Collector joins the cyclists for a section of the 16-km stretch
A 16-km-long cycle rally was organised here on Saturday to create awareness among the public of protecting birds, especially waterbirds, that descend on Tirunelveli, Tenkasi and Thoothukudi districts in large numbers whenever there is a good monsoon, a time when the Tamirabharani feeds all the tanks with the rainwater.
The Pothigai hills or Agasthyamalai, a part of Western Ghats, is a treasure for south Tamil Nadu as the Tamirabharani, one of the few perennial rivers in the State, originates from here. The Tamirabharani and its well-connected irrigation tanks have made Tirunelveli, Tenkasi and Thoothukudi districts as the ‘Rice bowl and banana basket’ of south Tamil Nadu.
