Farmers also had difficulty in cultivating crops. The noyyal river in Coimbatore has a high inflow of water during the south-west monsoon season. But this year due to lack of rainfall, the Noyyal river has been dry for the past few weeks without water.
Even recently, the town panchayat administration had set up a shower for the convenience of the devotees who had come to perur ghat to offer tarpan as there was no water in the river on Aadi Amavasai day. It was very sad for the devotees who placed this shower in the river where the water flowed and soaked their hands and feet in it.
People were expecting to see the water flowing in the river due to rain. For the past two days, coimbatore district and catchment areas have been receiving widespread moderate to heavy rainfall.
