Status of three dams .Mullaperiyar dam restored to Kerala

This Blog is in continuation of my Blog dt 12th June/13th June Blog regarding the dispute by Tamil Nadu on the ownership of the dam which made strong difference of opinion in the Legislative Assembly of Kerala. The opposition maintained that the Government due to carelessness lost the control of the ownership of the Dams Mullaperiyar,Parambikkulam,Perivarippallam,& Thunakkadavu Dams. Although the CM maintained that the Dams belonged to Kerala & the right for repair & maintenance were done by the Tamil Naadu Government,the opposition was not convinced & continued with their view. It has now been decided by The Central Water Commission through their National Register of Larger Dams in page Number 81 that all the above four dams do come under the Ownership of Kerala & not of Tamil Naadu.HoweverTamil Naadu Government can do the Repair& maintenance of the Dams even though the dams have not found a place in the List of Dams recorded in the above mentioned Central Dam Register.
