Kiran Bedi visits Odaperi, Periya Eri

According to a Raj Nivas release, the review visits are in anticipation of water day on March 22  and will continue to be made by the water rich team to review the water levels of tanks fed by 14  rural irrigation channels de-silted by raising community support during the North East Monsoons.

It was observed that the Odeperi Tank was not full with water since, the subsidiary channels were not de-silted preventing the flow of enough water into the tank, while the Periya Eri was full.

Given the fact that successive monsoon have not brought enough rain it  has become  imperative to save every drop of water and the PWD was asked to  prepare a status report on the  major, secondary and territory feeder channels.

The status  report will give a complete picture of the channels, their length, the extent of de-silting done, choked points, encroachments if any, etc for timely action.
