The department of irrigation has begun demolishing a bund that was built illegally near the Periyar Valley Canal in Keerampara panchayat’s ward number 1 following an order by District Collector S. Suhas.

An official of the irrigation department said that the bund was 60 metres long and it would be completely demolished by Tuesday.
