In April 2017, Sellur K Raju drew a lot of flak for his idea of water conservation by covering Vaigai Dam's water with thermocol sheets taped together with sticky tape. He had spent an estimate of 10 lakh rupees in the purchase of the thermocol, which could not withstand the strong wind and the water currents and began to drift apart even before the exercise could be carried out in part. The sheets began to wash ashore, drawing criticism from all quarters. [3]
