The Work of forming artificial islands at Kavinadu Kanmoi, one of the biggest irrigation tanks in Pudukkottai district, has been started.
The silt would be removed before the formation of 10 artificial islands in the irrigation tank.
The plan was to plant seedlings of various fruit-bearing trees and local species atop the artificial mounds which would be created on man-made islands to attract birds.
The project was being implemented with technical guidance from the Tamil Nadu Green Climate Company.
