Buckle Channel:

The State Government will revive the historic Buckle Channel passing through Tuticorin on a war footing, where free flow of water is blocked now, according to M.K. Stalin, Minister for Local Administration.

Speaking to reporters here on Sunday, he said desilting and de-weeding would be carried out wherever it was found necessary, after a study.

"Moreover, we will lay blacktop roads along both sides of the five-km channel, which was constructed to drain rainwater from the town to the sea, and beautify its surroundings."
