MULLAPERIYAR NEW DAM

The APEX COURT EXPERT COMMITTEE has agreed in principle to have a new Dam in Mullapperyar after making the people of IduKki happier & removing the Democle's Sword hanging over their Heads. The contention of Tamil Naadu was considered only on one aspect about continous sharing of water from The Dam.a decision & terms of the agreement as & when decided would be worked out later! As regards the petition from Kerala to limit the water level to 120 feet was not approved in toto as the order from Supreme Court to maintain Status quo is in force.unless the Apex Court vacates the stay order on Status quo the committee is not empowered to make any change. The decision on water sharing was never disputed by Kerala in the past at any time,though perhaps the sharing contract should have been scrapped long ago when neither TN norbKerala states were in existence.after for Marion of Linguistic states,the first Govt ofvKerala should have thought about scrapping the contract.this was not done then.neither any Govt bothered to think about it later!So the contract concluded Moore than 100. Years between a ruler's representative one Mr.Iyyengar & a British official was continued! This was a mistake for which no use of crying over Spilt Milk now.the obvious reason no one bothered was all Political Leaders from very old days got land allotted in Theni District of TN & still they or their kins enjoy thevbenefit from it. Any how at least there is relief for the people of Idukki living around the Dam to breathe better though the threat of EARTHQUAKE still exists! Of course no one including any court of Law with their orders can remove this fear from the minds of the people as Nature never wait for man/woman to decide! The TN CM should have understood this Truth long ago! Any way WELCOME NEWS to THE PEOPLE of GOD'S OWN COUNTRY!!! SreedharanMundanat
