Tamilisai Soundararajan visits Oussudu lake and Pillayarkuppam anicut to assess flood situation
Lt. Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Friday said a new check dam would be constructed at Pillayarkuppam-Sellipet across the Sankarabarani river.
The Lt. Governor who visited Oussudu lake and Pillayarkuppam anicut across the Sankarabarani, to assess the flood situation, told media persons that the existing French-era anicut, built around 120 years ago, had some issues and hence efforts were being taken to build a new check dam.
However, work on the new structure cannot be commenced until water levels recede, she said.
