New Dam
Has there been any discussion between Tamil Nadu and Kerala before, as the Kerala minister said, about building a new dam at Mullaiperiyar? Is do not know. It would be considered as a grave mistake. Also, Tamil Nadu should not accept an invitation from the Kerala government to talk about the construction of a new dam at Mullaiperyar.
Regression
The Kerala government has a habit of inviting Tamil Nadu to come and talk about a new dam whenever there is a backlash in Kerala over the Mullaiperiyaru dam issue. Mullaperiyar problem solved. on this situation thats goind around, now Kerala is calling officially for talks to resolve the Mullaperiyar issue. The Tamil Nadu government must clearly understand this fact.
mullai periyaru dam 142 ft
Mullaiperiyaru Dam is fortified; In 2006, the Supreme Court ruled that its water levels could rise to 142 feet and then 152 feet. In a later decision in 2014, he said: “The dam is very strong. The existing dam is much stronger than the new dam built there. Therefore, the construction of new dams is not necessary. Instead, steps should be taken to raise the water level. from the dam at 152 feet,” the Supreme Court ruled. It’s been 7 years and the water level in the dam still hasn’t reached 152 feet. This is because Kerala continues to impede the fortification of the Baby Dam, which is part of the Mullaiperiyaru Dam.
Case
Several cases have been brought to the Supreme Court by individuals seeking to reduce water levels at Mullai Periyar Dam, citing ongoing rains in Kerala. But the Supreme Court, refusing to accept it, said the current water levels could continue. On the other hand, a monitoring committee established by the Supreme Court ordered the Kerala government to allow the felling of 15 trees in the area to strengthen the Baby Dam. Even if Kerala revokes the permit to cut the tree, it is expected to be granted soon. If so, the Baby Dam could be reinforced over the next few months and the water level raised to 152 feet with Supreme Court approval. Kerala is trying to avoid this.
Celebrities of Kerala
Many luxury hotels and residences of famous people in Kerala have been built in the reservoirs of Mullaiperiyaru Dam. If the dam’s water level were raised to 152 feet, they would sink. The Kerala government continues to thwart the efforts of the Tamil Nadu government to raise the water level of the dam to prevent such a situation from happening.
Seven years late
At the 2006 request of the Supreme Court to settle the matter of Mullaiperiyaru, then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Kerala Artist and Achuthanandan Minister, was expressed in Delhi on the 29th. November of the same year in the presence of the Prime Minister at that time. Manmohan singh. This was followed by speeches by two state irrigation ministers, Duraimurugan and Premachandran, on December 18. Two multi-stage negotiations collapsed. Thanks to these negotiations, the Kerala government postponed the Mullaiperiyaru trial for up to seven years. Likewise, Kerala is still trying to keep the water level of Mullaiperiyaru dam from rising by inviting Tamil Nadu to talk about the new dam and reopening discussions about the new dam. It is strictly needed to be prohibited by the Tamil Nadu government.
Don’t Talk
Hence, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu should not talk to Chief Minister of Kerala about any matter including the construction of a new dam in Mullai Periyar. Instead, the government should accelerate the reinforcement of the Baby Dam and raise the water level of the dam to 152 feet,” Ramdas said.
