G.O. (Ms.) No. 256, Rehabilitation of Sempoondi anicut across Kiliyar River
The Public Works (W1) Department issued Government Order (Ms.) No. 256 dated 14 December 2011, granting administrative sanction of Rs.2.20 crore to rehabilitate the Sempoondi anicut across the Kiliyar River at Kiliyanagar village, Madurantakam Taluk, Kancheepuram District. The sanction covers a revised project estimate following an earlier sanction of Rs.1 crore, with Rs.209 lakh funded through NABARD loan assistance and Rs.11 lakh provided by the State.
Purpose and location
The Public Works (W1) Department, through Government Order (Ms.) No. 256 dated 14 December 2011, approves the rehabilitation of the Sempoondi anicut across the Kiliyar River. The structure is at Kiliyanagar village in Madurantakam Taluk, Kancheepuram District.
An earlier government order had sanctioned Rs.1 crore for the project under the Part II schemes for 2009-2010. Following design approval and revised costing, the estimated amount increased to Rs.2.20 crore, including escalation for 2011-2012.
Works covered
The sanctioned Sempoondi anicut rehabilitation estimate includes:
- Four scour vents, each measuring 2.10 metres by 1.20 metres, on both sides of the anicut.
- Launching aprons on the upstream and downstream sides.
- A 95 metre anicut body wall.
- Desilting of the supply channel.
- Toe wall construction on the upstream and downstream sides of the head sluice.
- Abutment wings and returns in M15 grade cement concrete at the left and right ends of the anicut body wall.
Funding and accounts
Government Order (Ms.) No. 256 dated 14 December 2011 sanctions a total estimated cost of Rs.2.20 crore under RIDF XVII. NABARD approved Rs.209 lakh, representing 95 per cent of the cost, as loan assistance. The remaining Rs.11 lakh, representing 5 per cent, is the State share.
A new account head was opened for the expenditure. The Engineer-in-Chief, Water Resources Department, is responsible for estimating, reconciling and controlling that account. The concerned Pay and Accounts Officer or Treasury Officer must open the new sub-head in their accounts.
The expenditure was treated as a new service requiring later approval from the Legislature. Pending that approval, the document directs that initial expenditure be met through an advance from the Contingency Fund, subject to separate Finance Department orders.
Who may be affected
The Public Works (W1) Department sanction primarily concerns the Water Resources Department, the Engineer-in-Chief, treasury and accounts officers, the Kancheepuram District Collector and NABARD. Property owners or buyers near Kiliyanagar may find the planned physical works relevant, but the document does not provide for land acquisition, change land classification, determine ownership or alter individual property rights.
