Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay announces drinking-water projects worth ₹4,800 crore in the state Assembly, including a desalination plant at Minjur. The proposal includes a planned capacity of 400 million litres per day, aimed at improving water supply for cities.
The Hindu reports additional details, including that the Minjur desalination plant is part of the broader package and that another project is proposed for Avadi, valued at ₹500 crore. Swarajya also describes the Assembly announcement as a slate of water initiatives totaling ₹4,800 crore for urban areas across Tamil Nadu. While both outlets focus on the same overall announcement and figures, they differ in emphasis, with one highlighting the Minjur plant’s capacity and the other presenting the package at a higher level.
