Krishnagiri is perhaps the only district headquarters that does not have a railway station or a direct rail connectivity to the State capital, and this has been a gnawing issue for the residents of this constituency.

While Krishnagiri has a watershed area from KRP dam, its surrounding villages have long been seeking the Badethalavu irrigation project, which proposes to interlink lakes to harvest the runoff from the Thenpennai river. But the project has been a non-starter.
