Pumps used for illegal drawal of water from river seized
- | Sunday | 18th March, 2018
Action will be initiated against all those involved in the illegal tapping of water and power, the sources said. Officials also spotted illegal tapping of power from the lamp posts and the same were disconnected. The illegal pumping of water from the near dry bed has caused concern to the official machinery too. The almost dry bed of River Cauvery and the meagre storage in the Stanley Reservoir at Mettur has in no way deterred the people involved in the illegal tapping of water using motor pumpsets for farm activities. Meanwhile, special teams of officials of the revenue department, PWD, TANGEDO and Police, led by T. Ramadurai Murugan, Revenue Divisional Officer, Sankagiri, launched a special drive from dawn-to-dusk on Saturday to check the illegal water tapping menace.
