By: Vedanta Limited A special pooja was performed and the desilting and cleaning work was commenced in the presence of Mr M Kumaravendhan, Head - HSE, Sterlite Copper and Mr D Udhayasuriyan, Chairman, Tamiraparani Project Committee. The channel starts Shutter No. 1 at Thirupani Settikulam and runs up to Shutter No.: 11 at Servakaran covering total distance of 6 kms. The water flow in the channel is slowed down due to excess weed growth and as a result, the farmers are unable to get the required quantity of water for irrigation. By undertaking this work, there will be free flow of water in the channel which will benefit 25,000 farmers covering around 6,000 acres of agricultural land in and around Peikulam. The cleaning work is expected to be completed within 10 days.
