Tamil Nadu Opens Mettur Dam Gates for Cauvery Delta Irrigation

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay opened the sluice gates of the Stanley Reservoir at Mettur to release Cauvery water for irrigation in the delta region. The release is aimed at supporting farmers who depend heavily on the Cauvery system for agricultural activities. The opening comes after a delay in the seasonal release schedule, making the development particularly important for farmers preparing for the agricultural season.

The water release is expected to benefit agricultural areas downstream of Mettur and provide much-needed support for cultivation. Farmers and agricultural communities across the Cauvery delta will be closely monitoring water availability in the coming weeks, particularly as crop planning and irrigation requirements increase.
