Maruthur-Umayalpuram barrage will be established as a road link: Minister
The Hindu
It is to be built at a cost of ₹750 crore
The proposed barrage across the Cauvery river between Maruthur near Kulithalai in Karur district and Umayalpuram near Musiri in Tiruchi district would have a road link for vehicles, said V. Senthilbalaji, Minister for Electricity.
Inspecting the proposed site in Maruthur on Sunday, he said that the barrage would be built at a cost of ₹750 crore. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin had made an announcement to that effect in the State Assembly recently.
After Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashok’s prediction on Saturday that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will step down in November 2025 triggered intense political discussions in the State, Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Sunday said Mr. Siddaramaiah will continue for the full five-year term.
