==History==
When the dam was planned English people gave some money and evacuated the people who lived in Nayambadi village which was in the place of present Mettur dam. When the water level of the dam recedes even now we can see age old Hindu temples and church emerge from it as a proof. Those people who migrated from Nayambadi have settled down in Martalli village and near by villages which are part of Kollegal district Karnataka state, then those villages were part of Erode district, Tamil Nadu. Those were the days Kaveri disputes were at its peak, whenever disputes broke out these villagers were the victims. People ran here and there to save their lives. Men tried to guard village with weapon, keeping their women and children locked in house.
