Concern over discharge of untreated effluents [1]

People in Erode town have expressed serious concern over the indiscriminate discharge of untreated effluents from the textile processing and tannery units into the Pichakkaran Pallam Odai, a major water carrying canal in the town. Thousands of gallons of untreated effluents that are being let into the canal, finally flow into the Cauvery river, causing irreversible damage to the environment.
