In the Amaravati river, the pollution control board officials are not aware of the cement bags being sifted. Due to this, there is a risk of the water getting affected and the cultivation work being affected, the farmers lament.
As the Amaravati dam in Tirupur district is filling up, paddy cultivation has started in the Amaravati river basins of Karur district. The first phase of corn harvesting has reached its final stage. The work of leveling the land and planting auri plant for foliage has started.
As a result, up to 2,163 cubic feet of water per second has been released into the river from Amaravati Dam. In this case, many people are engaged in sorting cement bags in places like Periya Andango, Chinna Andango, Light House Corner, Sukkaliyur, Koyambally and other areas of Amaravati river. Due to this, the farmers are in fear.
Amaravati river irrigated farmers said:
As the water in Amaravati river has been opened, rice cultivation has started in Aravakurichi, K. Paramathi and Thanthonrimalai areas. In this case, many people are sorting and cleaning empty cement bags in Amaravati river. Due to this, the water becomes polluted.
Complaint has been made to the Karur Pollution Control Board about this, but the authorities are not aware of it as usual. The Pollution Control Board authorities are not taking steps to take serious care of the mixing of dye waste in the Amaravati river. Karur Pollution Control Board officials should take steps to stop the dumping of cement bags.
Thus, they said.
