Protect waterbodies by installing display boards: activists
The Hindu
The request comes in the wake of demolition of a temple in Mudichur
Social activists have urged the State Government to install display boards near the waterbodies to create awareness among residents and prevent encroachments.
The need for creating awareness by placing display boards of the waterbodies and canals containing complete details of the name of the waterbody, survey numbers, size of the site and the local body to which the property belonged to, would serve as a warning for encroachers.
The need for creating awareness comes in the wake of the State Government demolishing a temple “constructed” through funds collected from devotees on a waterbody in Varadharajapuram of Mudichur.

The Madras High Court on Thursday (April 3, 2025) agreed to hear, on Friday (April 4, 2025), a review petition filed by the Tamil Nadu government against an order passed by the court on March 13, 2025, which fixed a cap on the number of tourist vehicles allowed to visit the Nilgiris and Kodaikanal during the ongoing summer season.
