TN CM Palaniswami announces trifurcation of Vellore district
         (Eds: Adds details)
         Chennai, Aug 15 (PTI) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K
Palaniswami on Thursday announced trifurcation of the large
Vellore district and asserted his government's commitment to
the two-language formula.
In his Independence Day address after unfurling the
tricolour at the Fort St George here, Palaniswami said
dividing Vellore district was following consideration of
representations from Ministers, MLAs and the general public.
         Two new districts with Ranipet and Tirupattur as
headquarters respectively will be carved out from Vellore and
K V Kuppam in Vellore district will be upgraded into a new
taluk, he said.
         Vellore will continue to function as a separate
district.
         Palaniswami had recently announced new districts of
Chengelpet and Tenkasi and with the two carved out of Vellore,
Tamil Nadu is set to have a total of 37 districts.
         Ensuring drinking water availability by rain water
harvesting and safeguarding waterbodies is the "key challenge
Tamil Nadu faces today," he said.
         Tracing the government's initiatives in this
connection since late Chief Minsiter J Jayalalithaa's first
tenure (1991-96), he said desilting work in reservoirs
including Poondi that meet Chennai's drinking water needs were
on.
         Work for the Rs 1,259 crore plus Nemmeli desalination
plant here was on, he said adding preliminary work for another
similar project at an estimated cost of Rs 6078 crore was in
progress.
         "We have urged the Centre to expeditiously implement a
plan to link Godavari and Cauvery rivers which will be a good
solution to water needs for drinking and farm purposes in
several districts of Tamil Nadu," the chief minister said.
         Appropriate action will be taken to prevent pollution
of rivers Bhavani, Vaigai, Amaravathi, and Tamirabarani and
steps to implement "Nadanthai Vazhi Cauvery," plan to clean up
and rejuvenate Cauvery on the lines of Centre's Namami Gange
was on, he said.
         The Chief Minister appealed to the people to extend
their support to the "Tamil Nadu Water Resources Conservation
and Augmentation Mission," and hoped the initiative will lead
to emergence of the State as a region of water resources.
         Since Palmyra trees act as a guardian of ground water
resources, to encourage its large scale rearing, 2.5 crore
seeds will be distributed to farmers at a cost of Rs 10 crore,
he said.
         Even if the Centre's new inter-state river waters
tribunal becomes functional, the Cauvery Water Management
Authority and Regulation Committee will continue, he said.
         The Lok Sabha had on July 31 adopted a Bill (to amend
the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act, 1956) envisaging a
single tribunal for adjudication of inter-state river water
disputes.
         The government was working towards achieving the
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals before 2030, he
said and pointed to welfare schemes in place to help achieve
it.
         Palaniswami assured that his government will achieve
what needs to be accomplished with people's support.
         "We are very ordinary people, what we have achieved
through your cooperation is very big and when compared to what
is to be achived yet, what has been done is tiny," he said.
         To propel Tamil Nadu to the numero uno position in
India, "let us take a pledge," he said.
         On the Lord Athi Varadar festival at nearby
Kancheepuram, which is scheduled to end tomorrow, he said
about one crore devotees have so far offered prayers to the
deity as a result of the amenities provided by the government.
         A special financial assistance of Rs 2,000 to about 60
lakh poor families in the State will be given following
conclusion of a complete survey, he said.
         Quoting late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa's firm
stand against imposition of Hindi, he expressed his
government's commitment to the two-language formula of Tamil
and English in schools in the State.
         Recently, parties in Tamil Nadu including the
opposition DMK had strongly opposed the three language formula
in the draft National Education Policy, alleging it was
tantamount to "thrusting" Hindi and wanted it junked.
         Continuing his government's practice of increasing the
pension for freedom fighters on Independence Day, he announced
that it will be hiked to Rs 16,000 from Rs 15,000.
         Also, the family and special pension to their heirs
will now be Rs 8,000 from Rs 7,500, he said.
Tamil Nadu played a great role in the independence
movement, he said and listed out several freedom fighters
including Veeran Poolithevan, Dheeran Chinnamalai, VO
Chidambaranar, Rajaji and Kamaraj.
         To commemorate their sacrifices and honour them, the
government has built 35 memorials, erected their statues and
holding events.
         While this is the third time Palaniswami is hoisting
the national flag as Chief Minister, Governor Banwarilal
Purohit unfurled the tricolour at the Raj Bhavan here. PTI VGN
