Three ponds in Tiruvannamalai town will soon be restored as the Special Committee, appointed by the Madras High Court, inspected the waterbodies.
The Committee, headed by P. Mathusuthanan, Principal District and Sessions Judge, Tiruvannamalai District Court, was formed after petitions filed by Srinivasa Temple Waterbodies Restoration Trust, a local non-profit organisation, sought rejuvenation of these ponds by the district administration to help increase groundwater levels in the town.
Along with the members of the trust and a team of revenue officials led by Collector D. Bhaskara Pandian and M. Priyadharshini, District Revenue Officer (DRO) Mr. Mathusuthanan visited the sites to take stock of the present condition of the waterbodies, including total area coverage and water level.
