T.N. Assembly election 2026: Industry thrives, but pollution, water scarcity haunt Perundurai constituency
The SIPCOT Industrial Estate in Perundurai constituency has brought economic growth but also increased pollution and water scarcity. Over 100,000 migrant workers are employed in various sectors like textile mills and construction, while residents face groundwater contamination from industrial effluents discharged into nearby water bodies. The Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board has conducted tests revealing high levels of TDS, nitrate, calcium, and magnesium in the affected areas. Despite a CETP project to address water pollution, concerns remain about air quality and lack of specialized healthcare facilities. The constituency's development pattern is heavily influenced by industrial expansion over agriculture, impacting traditional sectors like weaving and palm jaggery production.
