About sai ganga project in all the news papers in tamil nadu

[Guest guest]

News papers of Tamil, Telugu or English came out with the news of Bhaghavan Sri

Sathya Sai Baba's Sai-Ganga project on last Thursday.

 

He said the water is brought to the Tamil Nadu from Kandaleru anicut to Poondi

lake considered to be one of the most important water reservoir for the people

of Chennai. He said the up gradation of the Kandaleru-Poondi canal was being

carried out at a cost of Rs.50 crores fully provided by the Sri Sathya Sai

Trust. Stretches and pucca walls had been laid out by the Trust between

Kandaleru to Poondi and from Poondi to zero point of the Chennai Metropolitan

area, thus covering a total distance of 177.97 Kilo meter.

 

According to Elangovan, the Poondi lake starting from the zero point to Poondy

reservoir was in a dilapidated condition with a lot of sands and muds covering

on both the sides of the walls of the canal carrying water to the Chennai city.

Since, the condition of the lake was in a worst condition and when the water was

released, the entire water was not reaching the Chennai city people, for the

water was eaten away by the sands and the muds. When the very same problem was

faced by the Andhra Pradesh, the Sathya Sai Trust intervened and set right the

things properly, it is said. Hence, the Tamil Nadu government had appealed

recently to carry out the work by the Sathya Sai Trust to make it possible to

receive the water to the Chennai city. The Sathya Sai Trust immediately took out

the work and started to upgrade the conditions since May last year. The Trust

had allocated a sum of Rs.50 crores for the project.

 

He also revealed that Sri Sathya Sai Trust had undertaken the work of cleaning

up the two lakes in Chennai city. He said the Porur lake and Madhavaram Rettai

Eri would be undertaken by them, however, this could be possible only when the

two lakes became dry.
