Amaravathi Dam Water Release: Madras High Court Directs Karur and Tiruppur Collectors

A petition was filed at the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court seeking the opening of the Amaravathi Dam main canal to meet the drinking and irrigation needs of over 13 villages in Karur and Tiruppur districts. Petitioner Meiganamurthy expressed concerns that the government order issued on July 20 would lead to water shortages.

Justices Karthikeyan and Sakthivel heard the plea and directed the District Collectors of Karur and Tiruppur to file their responses, subsequently adjourning the case.
