DHARMAPURI: Pattali Makkal Katchi founder S. Ramadoss has urged the government to declare Dharmapuri, Krishnagiri, Salem, Namakkal and Vellore districts drought-prone.
The neglected and underutilized crops chosen for this study included finger millet (Eleusine coracana), Italian or foxtail millet (Setaria italica) and little millet (Panicum sumatrense). Two locations where these crops have been traditionally under cultivation and intrinsically linked with food security, livelihood and cultural identity of local tribal communities, were chosen as target sites.
NAMAKKAL: The Kamalalayam tank, located near the historical Namakkal fort here, is once again turning into giant lavatory as the authorities concerned have failed to take up regular maintenance works.
The district administration had sanctioned liberal funds two years ago to improve the surroundings of the tank and planned to turn this water body into a tourist place.
NAMAKKAL: Over 7 lakh tree saplings were planted in different parts of Namakkal district till date as part of the massive sapling plantation project of the district administration, Collector U. Sagayam said.
