The desilting and cleaning work of Maruthur Melakal Channel started at Maruthur and will end at Vellur, covering a distance of 15 kms. As the water flow in the channel is slowed down due to excess weed growth, farmers are finding it difficult to get the required quantity of water for irrigation. In such scenario, the undertook project will allow free flow of water in the channel benefitting 50,000 farmers covering around 12,000 acres of agricultural land in and around Maruthur Melakal Channel and sub channels of Srivaikuntam North Main Channel. The cleaning work is expected to be completed within three weeks.
