The sword of Damocles hangs over the heads of the farmers of about 1,500 acres for the last eight years. Sivarakottai land is fertile with phosphorous and potash and more suitable for millets and minor millets. That shows how nature has blessed us with a fertile land,” Mr. Ramalingam said. “If it is not fertile, why did the government spend so much on agricultural activities here,” Mr. Ramalingam asked. We hope he keeps his word and save our livelihood,” Mr. Ramalingam said.
