Neyyar Left Bank Canal

Our kollemcode is a beautiful village.. ONCE UPON A TIME...i think in 1980's we used to get canal water from Neyyar Dam. I think now we have completed 18 years without getting a single drop of water thrugh this canal. Our dearest polictial parties are also competative each other to fill the canal /( thodukal) and made new roads.. 

Some of our friend updloaded some photos of the present canal..Iam wondering that why we are not responding to this. we are paying the tax for water.. and also still i remember that when I was studying in our Gvt. School we used to go to the paddy field and use to wash our plates after having foods in lunch time. And also in raining season the paddy field will look like a back water .. now that and all memory for us and it is goinng to be a history for the next generation. And also at thookkam period from the 4th day to till 10th day we can see the men in red colour from PERUM KULAM to MUDIPPURA.. ( for bath - morning and evening- all use to go to perumkulam) now the most of the area are encroached by the people and it become a road and the perumkulam is there are not I dont know .. Because since last 4-5 years I have not visited that area.. I heard that some of our political leader has promised that she will get water before the next thookkam. We can wait for more 3 months as the next thookkam is very near by.. 

Due to the friction between the both kerala and tamil nadu government.. the poor village/people are suffering for the water.The total climate has been changed.. there is no breaze.. only hot air..the ground water level has gone down beyond the imagination.. no water in wells.. no agricultural development.. once i was the witness when some people are making new raod and they are filling the canal. I have immediately given the complaint to the irrigation department and got reply mail from our village office saying that they will look in to this...sorry to say that is only in look only...

The interesting thing is the water is flowing towards to the arebian sea and it is getting wasted. Due to the friction in each state , our village is getting dried up. Both the state government is not bother and even our local politicians.. it is too bad and pitty on our self. We are indians and all indians are ... this we have started saying from LKG onwards.. see our goverment's rules and regulations.. Inside INIDA there are two states inside our country and the both state has no understandng on a simple issue and wasting of water... what an India and what Indians we are....

We have to do something for this, as swami Vivekanada Said.. AWAKE ...ARISE..ACT..
