What Happened
Krishnarayapuram Assembly constituency in Karur district has multiple irrigation canals from the Cauvery River, including Kattalai High Level Canal and South Bank Canal. However, local farmers report receiving no benefits from these channels. Villages in the constituency face drinking water shortages despite proximity to the Cauvery. Voters say successive governments failed to supply Cauvery water to communities.
