Project Description
Cuddalore is a large industrial town. It has a large number of industries that employ much of the city’s population. The district of Cuddalore was heavily damaged by the tsunami waves. Several fishing hamlets simply disappeared. M.G.R Thittu, Pillaimedu,Kannagi Nagar, Chinnavoyi are completely washed away.
At several places in Cuddalore district, huge waves burst water pipelines disrupting water supply, and in other places the seawater incursion made both surface and ground water saline and importable. Fishermen, prawn/crab and fish seedling farm owners, fish transport owners, ice-manufacturing units, all sufferd loss of income. Horticulture activities in Cuddalore were also affected.
