Minister of Water Resources Duraimurugan on Saturday said the State government would continue to urge the Union government to form a inter-state water disputes tribunal as per directives of Supreme Court to look into issue of Karnataka's dam project across Markandeya river. In a statement, he said Markandeya river is a tributary of the Pennaiyaru river, and because of this dam, about 870 hectares of agricultural land getting irrigation in Krishnagiri Taluk would be affected.![](/newspic/picid-1269750-20250217064624.jpg)
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
