Perundurai MLA S. Jayakumar submitted a petition to the Assembly Speaker M. Appavu seeking permission to discuss the water problem in the Perundurai Sipcot area spreading over 2,700 acres.
More than 300 families are living in the villages of Kutthampalayam, Kuttapalayam, Kumarapalayam, Paliakattur in the middle of it. They are unable to use ground water in the surrounding areas due to pollution problem in the Sipcot.
Thus, only the potable water provided under the combined drinking water scheme should be used. But the supply under the water scheme is inadequate. So, the petition wanted a discussion in the assembly on the subject.
