Stating that Andipatti, which was just six km away from Vaigai dam, was experiencing difficulties in getting drinking water. Vaigai dam was built by former Chief Minister Kamaraj to provide water up to Ramanathapuram district. However, getting water to towns closer to the dam itself seemed to be a Herculean task now, Dr. Anbumani said. Up to Sholavandan, which is about 25 km away from here, there was some trace of water in the river. Quoting sources of a study conducted recently, he said 58 types of solid waste were dumped on the banks of the Vaigai, which was once considered the heart of the city.
