Coimbatore: Pollachi Jayaraman, a legislator who came to see the flooding of the Gothawadi pond near Pollachi, threw his sandals in protest, causing a tussle between the DMK and the AIADMK.
Gothawadi Pond covers an area of 152 acres in Kurunallipalayam Panchayat near Pollachi.
The pond overflowed last night after 30 years due to excess water being released from the Parambikulam Azhiyaru irrigation canal.
