Palakkad: The ponds at Panangad and East Attapallam which come under Pudussery grama panchayath were renovated.  The Pandiyathu Yerri pond has a water storage capacity of 12412 cubic meters and the Samy Yerri pond has a water storage capacity of 10478 cubic meters. Both these ponds will collectively support agricultural activities covering an area of about 160 hectares.
