Farmers have urged the authorities to repair a damaged bridge across the 18th Canal in Theni district, stating that the damage has disrupted the flow of irrigation water to tail-end areas.

The 18th Canal was constructed to provide irrigation facilities to several areas in the Uthamapalayam and Bodinayakanur regions, including Kombai, Pannaipuram, Devaram, Meenakshipuram, Chinnalaicherry, Sankarapuram and Kodangipatti.

Through this canal, 44 irrigation tanks and 4,614 acres of agricultural land in the Uthamapalayam and Bodinayakanur taluks benefit from irrigation facilities. As many as 116 bridges have been constructed across the canal at various locations.

However, one of the bridges across the 18th Canal has sustained severe damage. Farmers said they had submitted several petitions to the authorities seeking repairs, but no action had been taken so far.

In the Bodi region, the movement of lorries along the canal bunds has further weakened the bridge, leaving it in a badly damaged condition.

The damage has made it difficult for farmers to transport their agricultural produce. More importantly, irrigation water is not reaching the tail-end areas, severely affecting farmers dependent on the canal.

Farmers have urged the authorities to take immediate steps to repair the damaged bridge and restore the smooth flow of irrigation water to the tail-end areas.
