Farmers complained about sand smuggling in the Varattar and blocking of water flow in the Kodaganaar at the monthly grievance meeting.
They were present at the meeting held at the Collectorate here on Thursday after the previous one was held in February 2020.
Dindigul district farmers’ association leader, S. R. Rengamani, complained that sand smuggling from the Varattar was going on in full swing during nights nowadays.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
