Minister for Municipal Administration K.N. Nehru on Wednesday commissioned the new drinking water project for residents of Thuraiyur municipality.

Mr. Nehru said it was a long-pending demand of the residents to implement a new drinking water scheme as the water supply from the old integrated drinking water scheme had gone down. The scheme was implemented at an estimated cost of ₹108.90 crore. It was completed within the stipulated time and it would solve the drinking water issues of the town.
