The Vaigai River in Madurai has swollen significantly following the release of 3,000 cusecs of water from the Vaigai Dam in Theni district. The Tamil Nadu government authorized the release of this water to aid irrigation efforts across several districts. On Sunday, the water release commenced, aiming to irrigate a total of 136,109 acres in Ramanathapuram, Madurai, and Sivagangai. The move is part of the state's ongoing agricultural support efforts, ensuring that the vast agricultural lands in these regions receive the necessary water for the ongoing cropping season. Drone visuals from the area show the swollen river, highlighting the substantial increase in water levels due to the dam's discharge. While the water release is expected to benefit farmers by providing water for irrigation, authorities have urged the public to remain cautious due to the increased river flow. Tamil Nadu Weather Forecast: RMC Issues Yellow Alert From Today to November 15, Warning of Heavy to Very Heavy Rainfall in Chennai and 15 Other Districts.
