Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin visited Kothangudi village in Tiruvarur district to inspect desilting and channel-widening works along the local irrigation canal. The inspection formed part of the Chief Minister's intensive tour of the Cauvery Delta region to assess the readiness of waterways prior to water reaching downstream farming tracts. Stalin inspected the cleared sections of the canal and verified that excavators had removed heavy silt deposits and wild vegetation choking the channel.
Engaging with Water Resources Department engineers, Stalin examined engineering diagrams detailing water carrying capacity and flow gradients toward tail-end ayacut lands. He directed officials to monitor drainage outlets carefully to avoid silt accumulation during monsoon inflows. Stalin also interacted with local farmers, hearing their views on seasonal water requirements, seed availability, and agricultural credit access from cooperative societies.
The Chief Minister reaffirmed that timely desilting protects crops against water scarcity while mitigating flood risks during heavy rainfall. He stated that the government's systematic intervention in water management aims to enhance farm productivity and guarantee long-term economic security for rural households throughout the agricultural heartland of Tiruvarur.
