TN farmers worried about the desilting work in delta districts

TN farmers in the delta districts are growing increasingly concerned about the incomplete desilting work following the release of Cauvery water from the Mettur dam on June 12.

The release of water, combined with inadequate desilting measures, has raised apprehensions among farmers regarding potential waterlogging and its impact on their crops. The incomplete desilting work has heightened worries about proper water flow and drainage in the agricultural areas.

Farmers are urging the authorities to address the situation promptly and ensure that the desilting work is completed effectively to mitigate potential agricultural challenges. Taking timely action to address these concerns will be crucial in supporting the farming community and safeguarding their livelihoods in the delta districts.
