Vasan urges T.N. government to release water from Mettur dam on June 12

Tamil Maanila Congress (Moopanar) leader GK Vasan on Monday, May 25, 2026, appealed to the Tamil Nadu government to ensure the release of water from the Mettur dam on the usual date of June 12. He referred to representations received from farmers on this issue.

Referring to the weather forecast warning that monsoon rains are expected to start soon, Mr. Vasan said the inflow of water into the Mettur dam is likely to increase. “In this context, farmers expect the water to be released from Mettur Dam on June 12.”

He said it was natural for farmers to expect the release of water from Mettur Dam on June 12 as they depend on water for irrigation.
