Revenue authorities have planned to desilt and renovate the supply channel leading to the temple pond of the Arulmigu Mathurakaliamman temple at Siruvachur in Perambalur district.
The supply channel filled with vegetation over the years has become a dumping ground for waste polluting the waterbody. In an effort to protect the supply channel, plans were now afoot to desilt and renovate it using the village panchayat funds.
Inspection of the supply channel would be done by an engineer following which an estimate would be prepared for executing the desilting work in the supply channel, said official sources.
