Ensure free flow of Cauvery water till tail areas, Palaniswami urges T.N. government

Published by Parlour News

AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami. AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Friday urged the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) regime to ensure water from the Cauvery, to be released during the Kuruvai cultivation season, reached the tail areas of the river system. In a statement, he contended that even when the election campaign was on for the Assembly elections, C and D channels (secondary watercourses branching off from the primary “A” and “B” of the Cauvery system) were desilted “in haste”. This would impair agricultural activity, in view of the scheduled date of opening of the Mettur dam being June 12. Besides, the removal of silt had not been carried out properly in respect of drains. A permanent solution had to be found to tackle the sprouting of water hyacinth at the junctions of the Coleroon, Korayaru, and Vennar, and their tributaries, Mr. Palaniswami added.

IndianOil says fuel supply remains adequate; shortages limited to isolated areas

Published by Webster

Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IndianOil) on Saturday said there is no overall shortage of petrol or diesel across the country, even as some fuel stations in certain areas reported temporary supply disruptions. The state-run oil marketing company clarified that the issues being witnessed at select retail outlets are localised and short-term in nature, and that fuel stocks across most parts of the country remain stable. IndianOil says disruptions caused by local demand-supply imbalance In an official statement, IndianOil said the temporary supply pressure at some outlets was due to local demand-supply imbalances and shifting customer patterns in certain regions. The company stated that a seasonal increase in diesel demand during the harvesting period has led to higher fuel consumption in several areas. It also pointed to a temporary shift in customers from private fuel pumps to public sector outlets because of comparatively higher retail prices at some private stations. According to the company, institutional and commercial buyers have also increasingly turned to public sector fuel stations as bulk fuel supplies are currently priced higher in …
