Drinking water scheme
Staff Reporter
THENI: A new drinking water scheme will be implemented to solve drinking water crisis in Andipatti town panchayat shortly. Vaigai dam will be the water source for this project, according to Collector P. Muthuveeran.
Inaugurating a community hall in Andipatti town panchayat on Sunday, he said it had been planned to implement the scheme as early as possible to wipe out drinking water crisis permanently.
This community hall will cater to the needs of poor people. They need not spend huge sums of money for hiring private marriage halls for their family functions, he added.
The State government had allotted Rs.4.25 crore for improving basic amenities in the town. More schemes were in the pipeline to enhance infrastructure.
To identify beneficiaries for Kalaignar Insurance Scheme for Life Saving Treatments, special camps would be held at Rengasamudram, T. Subbulapuram and Thimmarasanaickanur villages. People should use this opportunity and avail the advanced medical care free of cost. It would be very useful to the poor and downtrodden, he added.
