But the Tiruchi Corporation’s claim that water was being supplied through tanks was unacceptable.He alleged that encroachments by private establishments had been obstructing the traditional water channels leading to the tank and rejected the Corporation’s claims that bringing water from the Cauvery was not feasible.
