Kulathur residents urge district administration to stop unauthorised borewell on Vaigai river bank

Residents of Kulathur village near Paramakudi have urged the district administration to take immediate action against an individual allegedly digging an unauthorised borewell on the banks of the Vaigai river for personal use and brick kiln operations.

According to the petitioners, a resident of nearby Mudalur village was sinking the borewell without obtaining the required clearance from government authorities. The residents feared that, with the village already facing severe water scarcity, the unauthorised extraction could deplete the local groundwater table and affect underground water sources.
