News papers of Tamil, Telugu or English came out with the news of Bhaghavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Sai-Ganga project on last Thursday.He said the water is brought to the Tamil Nadu from Kandaleru anicut to Poondi lake considered to be one of the most important water reservoir for the people of Chennai.
He said the up gradation of the Kandaleru-Poondi canal was being carried out at a cost of Rs.50 crores fully provided by the Sri Sathya Sai Trust. Stretches and pucca walls had been laid out by the Trust between Kandaleru to Poondi and from Poondi to zero point of the Chennai Metropolitan area, thus covering a total distance of 177.97 Kilo meter.
According to Elangovan, the Poondi lake starting from the zero point to Poondy reservoir was in a dilapidated condition with a lot of sands and muds covering on both the sides of the walls of the canal carrying water to the Chennai city. Since, the condition of the lake was in a worst condition and when the water was released, the entire water was not reaching the Chennai city people, for the water was eaten away by the sands and the muds.
When the very same problem was faced by the Andhra Pradesh, the Sathya Sai Trust intervened and set right the things properly, it is said. Hence, the Tamil Nadu government had appealed recently to carry out the work by the Sathya Sai Trust to make it possible to receive the water to the Chennai city.
The Sathya Sai Trust immediately took out the work and started to upgrade the conditions since May last year. The Trust had allocated a sum of Rs.50 crores for the project.He also revealed that Sri Sathya Sai Trust had undertaken the work of cleaning up the two lakes in Chennai city. He said the Porur lake and Madhavaram Rettai Eri would be undertaken by them, however, this could be possible only when the two lakes became dry.
