FARMERS in Kattur near Lalgudi in the district complain that a private sugar mill in the village has been discharging effluents illegally into a canal that irrigates hundreds of acres of paddy fields.

They expressed concerns that the effluents could contaminate groundwater and soil.

They have urged the district administration for steps to ensure the mill stopped discharging any waste into the canal.

G Arivumani, a farmer from Kattur, said he cultivated samba paddy on five acres near a site maintained by the Kothari Sugars and Chemicals Limited.

The mill often releases effluents into the Peruvalai and Panguni irrigation canals, and other drainage channels during the monsoon.
