The supply of an illegal drinking water connection to a real estate housing company near Erode with the backing of the ruling party has drawn criticism from the public.
Lakshmanan and Venkatesan, two DMK members who own real estate companies, have listed houses for sale in the 60th ward of Vendipalayam in the Erode Corporation. A water tank with a capacity of 3 lakh liters has been constructed for these houses.
Even though the construction of the residences hasn’t been completed yet, the real estate company’s water tank now has a direct drinking water connection from the nearby corporation-owned irrigation station, so that water can flow 24 hours a day.
According to reports, the water station from which the real estate firm of DMK members is illegally obtaining water was originally supplying the drinking water needs of people of 6 wards of Erode corporation.
Residents of the area are insisting that the abuse of power by the DMK should be stopped and action should be taken against the officials and the DMK members who were involved in getting the illegal pipeline connection.
