Minister for Finance N. Marie Wilson inspected on Saturday some of the ongoing development works in Nanguneri and Radhapuram Assembly segments and exhorted the officials to complete the projects before the stipulated duration.
One of the works inspected by the Minister was the preliminary works for the widening of Nanguneriyan Channel and digging of a channel to take water from this channel to 46 irrigation tanks under Nanguneri Periyakulam. The objective behind this project is to use the surplus water of Pachchaiyar River for irrigation, which is now going waste into the sea after it enters the Tamirabharani River.
As per this plan, the surplus water of Pachchaiyar River will be taken to the 46 irrigation tanks under the Nanguneri Periyakulam by digging a new bypass channel for about 20.55 km and the feeding channels for about 40.95 km.
