Erode
Action please: Effluents from a yarn-dyeing factory at Vairapalayam in Erode enter Kalingarayan Canal, which irrigates thousands of acres in Erode district.
ERODE: Reams of paper have been used in various forums in an attempt to solve pollution problem in Erode. Farmers have moved the court, which is hearing the case, and continue to petition the district administration. Print media too has devoted considerable space reporting pollution and its effects.
The ground situation, however, remains the same: effluents continue to pollute irrigation canals and water bodies.
