Minister for Water Resources, Duraimurugan on Wednesday inaugurated the restored left canal of Mordhana Dam, which is maintained by Water Resources Department (WRD), in Gudiyatham town near Katpadi in Vellore.
Officials of WRD, who carried out the work, at a cost of ₹ 2.5 crore, said that the restoration work was a long-standing demand of farmers and residents in the region as desilting work, which is being done for the first time since the dam was built in 2001, will help to prevent inundation of Gudiyatham and Katpadi taluks during monsoon.
