TIRUNELVELI
Ganapathy Sakthinathan, 44, formerly Dean, Anna University, Tirunelveli Regional Office, and Associate Professor, Department of Automobile Engineering, Anna University, Chennai, who rejuvenated major irrigation tanks in Tirunelveli, Tenkasi and Thoothukudi districts through his work, succumbed to COVID-19 on Monday afternoon. He is survived by his wife, son and daughter.
After being under treatment in two private hospitals in Palayamkottai for over a week, Sakthinathan was shifted to Tirunelveli Medical College Hospital (TVMCH) on Monday morning and died around 2.45 p.m. His body was cremated in Sindhupoondurai gasifier in the night.
The contribution of Sakthinathan, known as ‘Farmers’ Friend’, is laudable. During his tenure as Dean, Anna University’s Tirunelveli Regional Office, and even after being shifted to his parent department after the end of his tenure, Sakthinathan and his team revived the supply channels from the Tamirabharani and the Chittar to ensure flow of water into more than 10 major irrigation tanks in Tirunelveli, Tenkasi and Thoothukudi districts.
