Students of various schools took out a rally here on Thursday to create awareness among the public on establishing rainwater harvesting structures in every house to improve the groundwater table.

Mayor Vijila Sathyananth flagged off the rally at Vaagaiyadi Corner on the South Car Street. The procession reached Chokkappanai Corner near Swamy Nellaiyappar Temple. The students raised slogans stressing the need for conserving water and preserving ground water level by creating rainwater structures.
