Tourists bathing and enjoying at barrage sites in Theni
Visitors in Theni are using water released from local barrages for bathing and recreation despite low rainfall and some dried waterfalls.
Holiday visitors to Theni district flocked to several barrages and minor dams, bathing and spending leisure time by the flowing water. Although rainfall has been low, people have been using the water released from these structures both for recreation and irrigation.
Places such as Surulipatti, Gokilapuram, Uthamapalayam and Mark Veerapandi reported larger crowds. Even where natural waterfalls have dried up, tourists gathered to photograph and enjoy the flows from the barrage outlets.
