In their memorandum to the district collector S. Sivarasu, they pointed out that for the last 30 years the project was pending and if the district administration initiated action to complete the project, number of irrigation tanks at Pulivalam, Peramangalam, Siruppathur will receive adequate water beside the groundwater recharged for 30 villages in that area.
Residents of Lalgudi appealed to remove two State-run Tasmac liquor shops near the railway over-bridge as it caused hindrance to the movement of women and school children.
