“Sewage water from Government Rajaji Hospital flows into the river thanks to broken pipe lines,” he said. Wearing flashy costumes and masks, members of Vaigai Nathi Makkal Iyakkam, a collective of volunteers working for the protection of Vaigai river, visited residents on the riverside to drive home a message on World Water Day on Thursday. Slapping fines would help in putting an end to open defecation and dumping waste into the river. T.

D.Pushpam, a 70-year-old resident of Alwarpuram, said only strict action by the Corporation would help solve many important river-related matters.
