Farmers from Vaniyampadi in Tamil Nadu’s Tirupathur and surrounding areas have accused local tanneries of releasing untreated effluents into the Palar river, causing contamination.
Videos of the river showed foam rising up to 5 feet from the water surface, indicating the presence of hazardous chemicals. Farmers claimed the tanneries are using floodwaters to discharge waste without treatment, harming the environment. They have called for immediate action from authorities, saying the pollution is damaging their land and crops.
