No water for irrigation despite brimming Cauvery: TN farmers
Nearly two lakh cusecs of water have been released from Mettur dam into the Cauvery river but farmers in Tamil Nadu's Cuddalore and Nagapattinam districts claim they are not getting enough to irrigate their fields. The farmers claim that most of the water is draining into the Bay of Bengal in the absence of a check dam in Nagapattinam district.
