*Tha Kovam Varuma Varatha featuring Gautham Vasudev Menon and Music by Arrol Correli.

#GVM #THAKOVAMVARUMAVARATHA

Gautham Vasudev Menon narrates the emotion called "Chennai", a city that has loads to be proud about

By default, Cooum was a river, which flowed for years throughout the city, before it turned into a drainage, in which the entire city started dumping its waste.

Tha Kovam Varuma Varatha talks about Gautham Menon talking about how the river gets polluted, touching upon the history of the river, the main cause for the river to get polluted, how people get affected because of the pollution, how people near the river live with the polluted river and also offers solutions to clean the river. Don’t miss out on the part where the ace director goes down memory lane to share about how he came to know about the story of Cooum.

Cooum should be the pride of our City, but in due time, unfortunately, it turned out to be a definition of drainage. The river will be cleaned only when we start questioning!

The Cooum River is the shortest classified river draining into the Bay of Bengal. This river is about 72 km in length, flowing 32 km in the Urban part and the rest in rural part. The river is highly polluted in the urban area (Chennai, Paruthipattu Anaikat). Along with the Adyar River running parallel to the south, the river trifurcates the city and separates Northern Chennai from Central Chennai. Its source is in a place by the same name 'Cooum' or 'Koovam' in Tiruvallur district adjoining Chennai district.
