PERAMBALUR: While the Tamil Nadu government and the Madras High Court have repeatedly warned against encroachments on water bodies, residents of the Periya Venmani village in Kunnam are horrified that a government body — the TANGEDCO — is constructing a substation on a dry lake in the village. They said the construction activity would destroy the water body and appealed to the district administration to relocate the structure.
The lake at Udaiyansalai is spread over 8 acres and is used to meet all water needs, but drinking, of the locals.
