00:00This is the area that was used for the Veeravandiyam project.
00:03It was not filled for almost 30-40 years.
00:06It was not filled even after 1965.
00:09As far as I know, in the year 1965,
00:12it was filled twice.
00:15After that, it was not filled at all.
00:18This is the reason.
00:20It was not filled until today.
00:23Is it only this area?
00:24No, there are 12 other areas on the way.
00:27You can trust that.
00:28This is the 11th area.
00:31If you trust the 12 other areas,
00:34you can trust this area,
00:35and fill it with beautiful beaches,
00:38and mix it with the Tarapanga river.
00:40What is the reason for this?
00:42Where is it blocked?
00:43In Karuppuru,
00:46there is a dam, right?
00:48To remove the stones,
00:50the dam has to be filled.
00:52To remove the stones,
00:54the waterway has to be blocked,
00:57and it was filled twice.
00:59This is the reason.
01:01It has to be done properly.
01:03Yes, it has to be done properly.
01:05If it is not done properly,
01:06the water that came in Salem this year,
01:08is being sold to the whole village.
01:10In the same way,
01:11in the Sarapanga river,
01:12a lot of farmers,
01:13even in the village,
01:14have lost their water.
01:15Because a lot of upstream water is flowing.
01:17We don't want to have a rainy season.
01:20If it is not like that,
01:21there is another way.
01:23A pipe that was built for the upstream water,
01:26is not being used now.
01:30Through that pipe,
01:32we can get water from the upstream.
01:35There is a way for that too.
01:37Will the government try to do that?
01:39That is our struggle.
01:41If we have to get our rights,
01:44we have come to the point where we have to struggle.
01:47What?
01:49How many hectares is Pasanava?
01:50Pasanava is around 32,000 hectares.
01:55It is used for drinking water.
02:01Even if a farmer has one acre of land,
02:06if they plant a bore,
02:08it will cost at least 3.5 lakh rupees.
02:11These farmers have to sell one acre of land
02:15to spend on it.
02:16If they have two acres of land,
02:17they have to sell one acre of land,
02:18plant a pipe,
02:19and if there is no water,
02:20they have to go to the well.
02:21We have to stop this situation.
02:23If a farmer has one acre of land,
02:25even if they plant a bore,
02:26it will cost a lot of money.
02:27But we need water.
02:29Ok, tell me your name.
