  • Due to the accumulation of fly ash, a residue from the coal fired North Chennai Thermal Power station, the air, water and soil in Kattukuppam along the banks of the Kosasthalaiyar river and Seppakkam have been contaminated. The once broad and deep Kosasthalaiyar river has become narrow. There are several species of fish and crab that have disappeared due to the continuous erosion of the mangroves. Despite alerting the authorities, there has been not much done to conserve the rich marine diversity. The pollution has increased manifold over the years.

    You should also propose some ideas/plans at the end of video, for the problem shown in video. That would be a really good touch.
    Like Fly ash can be used in cement industry.
    I hope other media channels learn from you, and cover important topics once in a while.

    They can convert this residual ash into bricks for building blocks for houses.
