G.O. (Ms). No.19, Rehabilitation of old anicuts in Amaravathi river system, 2012
The Public Works (W1) Department issued G.O. (Ms). No.19 dated 30 January 2012, modifying how the sanctioned rehabilitation of old anicuts in the Amaravathi river system in Karur and Tiruppur districts would be carried out. It permits the Rs.18.00 crore work, previously sanctioned as one package, to be divided into six packages for easier execution and timely completion.
What the order does
G.O. (Ms). No.19 dated 30 January 2012 from the Public Works (W1) Department changes the packaging of rehabilitation work for old anicuts and leading channels in the Amaravathi river system. The earlier administrative sanction under G.O. (Ms) No.226 dated 1 November 2011 covered the Rs.18.00 crore project as a single package with NABARD loan assistance under RIDF XVII.
The Chief Engineer (Plan Formulation), Water Resources Department reported that 13 anicuts are spread along 228 kilometres of the Amaravathi River, from Amaravathinagar Dam to its confluence with the Cauvery River. Because the available closure period is short, a single package was considered likely to slow progress and delay completion.
Six approved packages
The Public Works (W1) Department permits the work to be divided as follows:
- Kumaralingam, Sarkar Kannadi Pudur and Solamadevi anicuts, with leading channels in Tiruppur district, Rs.2.64 crore.
- Kaniyur, Kadathur and Karatholuvu anicuts, with leading channels in Tiruppur district, Rs.1.84 crore.
- Alangium and Dhalavaipattinam anicuts, with leading channels in Tiruppur district, Rs.3.17 crore.
- Dharapuram and Kolangividai anicuts, with leading channels in Tiruppur district, Rs.4.065 crore.
- Chinnadharapuram Anicut and leading channels in Karur district, Rs.2.515 crore.
- Nanjakalakurichi and Pallapalayam anicuts, with leading channels in Karur district, Rs.3.77 crore.
The total estimate remains Rs.18.00 crore.
