Responding to this, the DMK treasurer Duraimurugan has warned the government that if water is taken from Jolarpet, a massive protest will take place.

He said, “If the government is unable to run a proper administration, the government will have to leave, otherwise the people evict them. The government has admitted that it is unable to supply water.”

He also stated that DMK will discuss about water problem in Tamil Nadu in the upcoming legislative meetings.
