Summary:
more-inTamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage (TWAD) Board will soon pay ?2 crore to the Kerala Government through the Tamil Nadu Government as charges the former had incurred towards maintenance of Siruvani Reservoir. It would soon send the same to the Tamil Nadu Government, which would then forward it to the Kerala Government. The board sources said that the Coimbatore Corporation, which is the beneficiary of the Siruvani water, had recently given it ?2 crore. For the past two years, the Kerala Government presented a bill for ?7 crore and the Tamil Nadu Government would be paying it. Therefore, it was wrong to allege that the Kerala Government had threatened to stop the supply of Siruvani water, because it was a routine affair, the sources added..
