THOOTHUKUDI The Samaththuva Makkal Katchi has appealed to the Collector to take steps for removing water weeds from the irrigation tanks across the district before the start of the northeast monsoon. In a petition submitted at the Collectorate on Monday, the Samaththuva Makkal Katchi cadre said water weeds grown abundantly in the irrigation tanks in Sivaththaiyapuram, Peikulam, Arumugamangalam, Korkai and Pazhayakayal were not removed for the past several years. Hence, the capacity of these irrigation tanks had come down drastically besides getting polluted by the water weeds.
