Putur in Sivagangai district. A 20,000 liter capacity overhead water reservoir built here in 2020 has been lying idle for 3 years. Also the 4 plastic drinking water tanks here are useless as the electric motors are broken. Cauvery Joint Water Scheme water is also not distributed properly.

Tamilchelvi, a resident of the village, said: "The ground water in our area is salty. The overhead reservoir for drinking water supply is lying unused. Due to a break in the pipe, Cauvery water is not coming. We wander everyday for water. He said that due to this he could not go to agricultural work and wage work. As a result, the people of the region are 3 km. They walk far and fetch water from agricultural wells.
